Fiat!

There  is a turning point for most of us

A moment when after great thought and effort

It becomes clear that no effort or thought will change  as a result of our efforts

Personally  I have tried for many years to develop a plan or a method so that others would see solutions to issues they might have

Without realizing it allowed  me to be a leader or rejected or included in life’s choices for myself, and occasionally, for others

But like stalagmite dripping, endlessly, freezing membranes into brittle arthritis

Times progression  has been a blessing for me as it reveals the secrets of aging

It has taken its toll on my quick solutions or suggestions

Slowly , so slowly, my quick wit and feet have left me

More  time has meant  meditating, and reflecting

Quite clearly now I can see others much like myself

Always  kind of understood old guys sitting around a McDonald’s breakfast table

Chatting about what they found interesting that day

Or commenting on what others might be thinking

This is my life now

No longer can I jump in and be the solution

More often, individuals are opening the door for me

Offering to hold my arm to prevent a fall

I don’t actually wanna see a mirror or a video of myself walking

I’m OK with my walking. I’m OK that I am walking. I’m glad that I am walking

I have a lot more people prompting me, directing me in case I can’t remember

the 10th time they’ve told me how to do something or how to get somewhere

Pretty  much I’m starting to  believe that at some point I will just fade away

As I don’t really quite understand how much I have faded away

Nonetheless

Truly nowI am just so happy to be with you

And  finally now I am able to say that this is what it is

Thus the Latin phrase “Fiat” “let it be”
