The Value of the Blend

The perfect blend of the past 
with the present
provides freedom to live
and explore every joy
life presents.
The new lacks flavor from experience,
but has exuberant energy;
the old has flavor and wisdom.
Breathe in deeply,
absorb the light
allow everything to blend
like colors on a canvas
and live.
