Age Is a Garden Quotes

“At ninety-three years of age, I find myself marveling at the journey that has carried me through nearly a century of living. My birthdays have grown gentle, yet each feels bold and significant, like silvery threads woven into the story of my life, or stories softly retold across the years. Most mornings, I wake with the first light of dawn, watching amber and gold spill through the cracks in my window shades. Each sunrise rekindles memories of countless joys and heartaches, countless mornings that have greeted me, each one as precious as the last.”
― Roy Everett Butler, Age Is a Garden: Poems and Reflections at Ninety-Three
