Do Not Fear It, Embrace
March 5th, 2008
Here is the second prompt between Crystal and I. This one is by her: Age. You can find her response to the same one here. :) Not my best work but then again it’s my fault because I kept watching the box with people inside that steals souls. ;)

Age. The process of decaying over time as many see it. The road to death and the end of all things. This is the way many see it, why else would women allow needless to be stuck in their faces full of botox (sp?) and other such chemicals? Why else would Ponce deLeon have gone searching through hell and high water to find that rumored fountain of youth? Why else would we see the grim reaper as a dark skeletal figure?
I do not.
Age. The process of growing and maturing. The universes way of showing we have ‘been’ and walked down many paths, some more than others, some learning from said paths more than others as well. We have started out as young babies, no, not ever that. We started out as cells, dividing and multiplying, ageing in that sense till we became babies and slowly afterward children and adults.
Death is not the evilness in dark cloaks come to take our souls away but rather a beneficent being come to give us rest after all our trials and tribulations. Some say he comes before our time and that may be so in one sense but in another- when we are done learning and growing in this world, we are ‘done’. At least for a time being.
The body ages. The mind ages. The spirit ages. We mature, grow, become, and then become something else to start all over. Age is not to be feared.
