About The Gray
Distinguishing or Distraction
Don’t let the gray in my hair fool you
Instantly assuming an outdatedness as inherent with age
Stagnated by ancient paradigms and rigidity in thinking
Take age out of the equation and you might actually see me for who I am
Ripe for recognition of the times endured, lessons learned and love extended
Accept me for what you feel when in my presence
Categorize me with longevity and abundance
Take from my life the jewels of experience as roadmaps for failure and success
Institutionalize tolerance and acceptance of diversity as your mindset
Opening to the benefit of focus and ability to
Notice my existence without the distraction of gray strands, as they distinguish, but do not define me

I First Saw Him
When I first saw him sitting on the wall, relaxed and looking out over the water, I was sure he wasn't a local. Not including children, there are only about 250 or 300 of us in this area full-time, though that number is ten-fold in the summer, and I know everyone at least by sight or by family resemblance. And yet, the way he sat looked familiar and started my mind sorting and discarding among the families I knew, not quite like this one, not quite like that one.
