Marathon Man

Listen to poem:

reaching a certain age we can no longer pretend to not hear the call as ever closer approaches the finish line that inevitable judgment day whatever form it might take with our life in the rearview mirror can we truly afford to ignore how our bio fits into the whole concept of karma AP: Honorable Mention 2022 Submitted on May 15, 2020 for contest BRIAN'S CHOICE E sponsored by BRIAN STRAND Originally posted on March 18, 2019

Wonderful, I like to think I am creating my karma and I think karma has rewarded me in the past. Like giving me friends like you.

Absolutely, Mahtab. That is the fairest criterion possible.

I love the title! Yes, after a while, we really do start to evaluate what our life means...what we’ve accomplished (not necessarily success as the world sees it) How much have we loved, been kind, advanced the success of mankind.

Thank you so much, Kim. The wonderful thing is that when we start thinking about evaluating our life, there's still time to work on improving the balance in your favor.

We really must start taking it into account, for it probably does matter. Sigh.
