I like this, Ian - I still feel like a young teenager, or a child, inside. But - my body's older, and that's how we seem to rank ourselves in the passage of time!

Blimey Ian!
reading this (then thinking of myself) makes me feel like a right wimp ?

what an excellent piece of writing. so much movement, both chronologically and philosophically. as ever, each word has been delicately placed and deserves to stand with the others.

Brilliant Ian, (being of a certain age) I can relate so much to what you have written, you've captured so much of my own youth and later life. And you're so right, we look older but inside our minds and bodies, it's such a different story which you've described so well.
Hats off to you, this is great writing.
Paul

"When you write something on paper
and leave it in a drawer for forty years
the paper yellows with passing time,
the ink fades into a gray graphite blur
yet the words are just as relevant and powerful."
A very apt and poignant comparison, Mr Whiteley.
