They say that age brings wisdom.
I'm not sure about that, but as I get older, one thing I do seem to acquire with the passing of time is experience. Experience of change, more than anything, because the life I am living now is so very different from the life I was living when I began writing on this page.
As I've written before, I ride an ebike. It has electronic gears, and I plan my rides electronically, recording them afterwards on an app on my electronic phone. I ride past fields of solar panels, grown by farmers who find it more profitable to create power than to grow crops. And it's easy to see why, because everything we do demands more and more power.
Some things seem never to change. It's autumn, and the trees are ablaze in gold and copper. With still air it's currently foggy, but the merest breath of wind will bring a million leaves to the ground in a cascade of colour. Then we shall have winter, with black branches silhouetted against a cold, blue sky.
The seasons never cease to thrill me. But now I enjoy them from the saddle of my (eighth) electronically assisted bicycle, powered by my legs, and also the electricity grid.
