I like to learn from old people.
Their old age and broken bodies echo of years of experience and its direct implications.
We rarely think of aging without feeling sad or being afraid.
Our relation with time makes us fear change.
We can barely imagine what being 104 years old means, although we would like to live that long, even longer.
I always love and enjoy stories that I hear from my grandma, she is like that old tree behind her, full of knowledge and hard hands from all life working.
