Joys Of Old Age

How Wonderful.
Now in old age with a weaker eyesight, can I see beauty that is just before me which I didn’t see with good eyesight before, even were I to have the time. What a revelation.
Now can I find, enjoy, read, hear, see, beauty in the simplest things. My mind is as young as ever. I don’t need to have read a novel, or to have heard an oratorio, opera, symphony, seen roses, orchids, ... to really find beauty, I don’t have to have eaten special foods, drinks. But then I was so haughty.
Beauty must be rich, grand, brilliant I thought, ignoring, humbling, despising beauty in the so simple, the so small, the so common, ... so near, yet, so dear to me, now:
