man and leafbare trees (shinjuku gyoen, japan)

why is it that when you are a kid, you just cant wait to grow old-- and that when you are old, you keep trying to stay young?
i realized the other day that i have hit one of those milestone years in my life-- when i am between old and young, and have to choose which i want to be. i have decided that i wish to age-- that i wish to be like the men on benches who can look out at the world and see it through wise eyes, and who realize that sometimes doing the simple little things, like feeding pigeons, can bring us so much joy
