I lived my life that way
For many years I rode the waves
Head down, racing for the shore
I lived my life that way
But now, I wade in the shallows
Lifting stones, catching crabs
Feeling the sand between my toes
The sun on my face.

Yes..simple and effective. It puzzles me how much time is wasted through haste. The best advice I ever received--"never hurry".
And, the idea of "lifting stones" leaves so much to imagination..

A perfect analogy with age and its views from the benefit of looking back. So simple and effective.

Thank you for the kind comments.
I picture an islander, a surfer that may not be able to surf again but still finds a way to enjoy the sea. But i know when I read it again a new image will come to life.
