clasping hands and pure hearts in the path to marriage? Can
there be anything more beautiful than young love?
Yes, there is a more beautiful thing. It is the spectacle
of an old man and an old woman finishing their journed together
on that path. Their hands may be gnarled, but still clasped;
their faces wrinkled but still radiant; their hearts may
be tired and slow as well as their brain, but still strong
and wise with love and devotion to each other. Yes, there is
a more beautiful thing than young love. Old love.
It takes a person of great heart to see...the wisdom the elders have to offer, and so serve them out of gratitude for the life they have passed on to us.
Ken Nerburn
