finding a good pair of shoes to walk in

there are stages

in your

life

that you are motivated

by

ambition,

or money,

sex,

something new. you get

up and

have that youthful spring

in your step

as you go

out to conquer

the unknown world

around you.

sometimes you get what

you're looking

for,

sometimes you

don't and just settle for

the lowest

of low hanging fruit.

but it's fine.

life becomes calmer

if you let it.

and then

an older age settles in

and you

think about, good food,

good conversation,

real love,

not hit and run,

long winter naps,

books, and

easy to walk in shoes.
