NEW QUESTIONS AND DOUBTS

LEGACY FOR NEXT GENERATIONS? WHAT SHALL I DO WITH MY LAST YEARS? WHAT WISDOM CAN I SHARE WITH MY GRANDKIDS?

Agnostic in my head:
No Answers, creed, ism
nor certainty of words.

Oddly the heart feels Connection
and gratitude for kindness,
wonder and compassion along the way.

How do I pay the bill before closing time?
