Being a Man
Means one has felt the work of time – aging – in one’s flesh.
Experience, the mutation of inner energies, establishes credibility,
It traces a path to legitimacy without speaking.
Before that, the child must learn to listen, feel within himself
Time is a punishment, a pain as much as a priviledge.
Growing old, plunging your hands into the flow of time, being bathed in wisdom.
Otherwise, never listen to anyone talking about the river.

Strange. My aching back tells me I am aging still, and I doubt if anything about me is the same as yesterday.
