A Happy Old Man

I had an old friend who was having severe health issues. I asked him gently, How's it going Dave? He said, Oh God please lets not talk about our problems. Before you know it, it'll turn into an organ recital! I got a good laugh out of that one, but more importantly I heard the wisdom. There is more to life than complaining, grousing about the unfairness of it. I will rage against the dying light, make jest of it, make music of the soul and hope I might be remembered as one with them, the...Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight.
