WATER

The older you get, the more you settle in to how the world works. You begin to realize people have weaknesses. You begin to realize you have weaknesses. You begin to understand better how it all works. You never get this down pat. You only get a little better at it. You begin to realize the government is not going to solve our problems. You can only hope they don't make them worse. You begin to realize it is not things that will make you happy, or improve your life. It is the friends you make, and the sons and daughters you would die for.  You get the slightest bit of understanding of God. Maybe this is because you are getting closer to the end and you try harder. God is hard to grasp. Invisible. Like water. You can't grab it. You have to drink it.
