"POWER" by Becky Hemsley

"POWER"
by Becky Hemsley

We are often wary of getting older.

We are conditioned to try and halt time

and reverse the signs of ageing.

And yet, whilst the ocean is billions of years old, it is no less powerful because of age.

It can still choose to carry you or drown you if it so wishes.

Whilst some trees have been growing for thousands of years, they are no less impressive than a ten year old tree.

In fact, they are more grounded and more rooted.

And with that comes incredible strength to weather any storm.

And whilst some mountains are millions of years old, they are no less formidable than those formed more recently.

They still stand tall and proud against a many billion-year-old sky.

So being old is not something to dread.

Ageing is not something that has to make us

weak and small.

It can be what makes us strong.

Formidable.

And powerful.

Yes, there is so much power in ageing.

So claim it,

harness it.

And above all…

Do not be afraid to use it.
