Image: A Measure of Youthful Abundance (here)
the 11 of 12 given words:
youth, false wisdom ripe green bitter
time stale longing ground dead
facets of youthful abundance
conjured images of false wisdom
ripe for pickings but a little green
bitter in essence wanting to appear prim
at times stale not ready for a refresh
but persistence created a longing
able to grind to a halt dead on target
such was the strength of character
best provoked by youthful vigor

We do have an abundance of vigor when we are young........we take it for granted. Such a surprise, at my age, to be so slowed down. Smiles. I love the photo, Hank.
