older folks...
by and so it is...
you know what i mean, old people. i was thinking about old people quite a bit and everything around me sort of pointed to them. from a student talking about saving old people from drowning because he is a life guard to driving down the road and seeing the saturday morning group sit in a circle on the corner of the street for their saturday morning hand out:) all of it. so what about old people? are they just old and getting older? what about them? well, that is such a funny question because i absolutely love old people. you know when you look at someone and their soul is just oozing out of them and it makes your heart jump? old people have the ability to do that to people. age is beauty. i know it. because as you live and experience more life, it does something to you. it grows you as a person and your beauty grows from the inside to the outside. old people have the ability to just melt me in the deepest spots of my heart. they know life. they are the reason we are what we are today. they paved the roads. there is so much beauty in that.
if you know me, you know owls are my absolute favorite. it has a lot to do with the fact that owls represent wisdom, something we should all be seeking to gain more of. you should never be ok with just existing. you should have ambition for life. people who are ok with shooting others down for having vision exist and unfortunately they are all around. but if you have a vision, follow it! and don't you dare let anyone convince you that there is something wrong with you because you have dreams. shame on anyone who would step on another person because they have goals.
old people, there is something about them. they make me feel like my goals, my dreams, like they are possible. they make me have hope. not some unrealistic fantasy. just hope, that they made it and are still going strong, so it is ok for me to know that God knows exactly what He is doing and He's doing it. and nothing silly i do can stop Him:)
i noticed that on saturday mornings, there is this group of old people by the shop. they have chairs set up in a circle and they sit and just hang out:) i love that so much. i was listening to this song called new day by the Robbie Seay band just as i was driving by and it said:
and it might not be the prettiest thing you ever did see.
i was thinking about how we see older people. our eyes lie to us when we look at them because there is no beauty like the beauty of older people. they are the most beautiful. them and new babies. there is something really special about both. people in general are beautiful and i love them, but old people....they are just awesome:)
