Well said, Yousaf well said!
I am seventy one years old. Though there are days I feel burdened by thoughts of our planet being depleted by our depredations, I feel very young and I look it too.
The thing is that I’m pure hearted, never grudged anyone their wealth, ability and good fortune. In spite of great trauma and abuse I believe in the healing power of compassion and empathy. I dealt with my PTSD embraced it.
I’m a poet artist. My daughter has held my hand, cheered me on when I didn’t believe in my work. I’ve had exhibitions which would not have happened without her. Though we live on different continents she’s my go to child. The other two? Busy with their lives.
She’s given me more than I could ever give her.
