One of my best friends is 92 years old. Despite the vast age difference we connect on so many levels. I cherish all the moments we share. How wonderful for you to have an elder in your life 💖

So love your illustrations Darren, do you paint or are they AI generated?

And love this inter-generational ode!

And this wonderful quote which so exactly captures the excitement and recognition of a new friend:

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."

To find an old friend, is to find a dear and wise friend, a forever friend. I am lucky...

I have such a friend.

Thank you for sharing yours... 🙏🏽🤍

Thank you for that heartwarming story, D. You remind me that the “ageless” are generational Time Machines, ready to take us on history adventures unrivaled by anything HG Wells could ever provide. That is, if we only take the TIME to ask, and listen - as you have done.

How many of America’s ills would be solved if we put down the phones and looked for a friend? Almost all of them? Thank you Darren for your powerful mind.
