Finally, what I wished for, came to pass. After many decades of a turbulent life, I managed to reach the gates of old age! Now, before them I stand, pondering at the inscription written above the entrance: "Enter at your own risk!" © Demetrios Trifiatis 02 March 2020

True. Destiny will lead the way. Our freedom will make the necessary adjacents dearest Jenish. Hugs xxx

I think ridicule may be one of the risks of growing old. Jesus accepted the ridicule so should we. Old age is a privilege not granted to all. Our eyesight and our hearing may diminish but we get the chance to see and hear things we never saw or heard when we were younger and we can feel things more acutely. Greetings from NZ

Enter at your own risk, lol, I like that. Being a risk taker I would enter. There might be a lot of exciting things in store. I like the challenge, and I know you do too my dearest friend Demetrios. A fave for me....Maria xox

My friend, Tom! A fine comment although the question remains: To enter or not to enter? If we don't, our life here ends and another begins. If we do enter we take the risk! Hahaha! Thank you!
