For forty years, Rod McKuen has remained one of my favorite poets.
As I have grown older, his poetry has developed greater wisdom…or else, my interpretation of his writing has taken on new perspectives.
About 10 years ago, McKuen published a marvelous piece that has new meaning for me as I embark on the next phase of my career as a learner, thinker, and doer (alá Richard Bach).
I particularly love these lines.
Age can finally say aloud what it really feels and thinks in after dinner company or crowd.
No one blinks. If they do, no matter.
Age erases pretense; replacing it with honesty.
Age is proof you got from there to here.
