Tales that lines tell

Old may be gold, but few of us like where Father Time is herding us. All the same, the elderly are an interesting bunch — if you care to pay them some attention.

I have always admired lines on people’s faces. Naturally, not on my own – that’s a continuing personal battle to beat time’s unwelcome inscriptions. But the creases on elderly people’s weathered faces tell a multitude of stories. Experiences etched permanently into soft flesh speak of lives put together without re-writes.
