概要

By Mark McNease

Time is not so much an arrow as a comet we ride, streaking across the sky.

You can tell from the first sentence I was 62 when I wrote this. Five years later my perspective on the fleeting nature of time hasn't changed. I've long said that "time is a non-renewable resource," and I still believe that. The older we get, the less of it we have. That's not maudlin, it's just true. As yet another friend died recently, it seemed like a good time to revisit the subject. Pun intended.

The good news is that I'm old enough to collect Social Security. The bad news is that I'm old enough to collect Social Security. When I was twenty, I never imagined being forty. It seemed so far away from that youthful ground I stood upon with naive bravado. Then when I hit forty, I thought fifty would be the last milestone to publicly mark, quietly retiring birthday observations with the exception of a few close friends and family. And finally, when I approached the age when referring to oneself as a senior becomes culturally appropriate, I decided I could at minimum look forward to collecting a monthly stipend for my troubles. We should all be paid for getting old, at least those of us lucky enough to live that long.
