Fading Away

 

Something I've noticed...myself, and others of a similar age, seem to be losing some of our visibility. Not that we can't see, but some can't seem to see us. I don't know exactly what's happening...maybe we're entering that "fade away" stage of life. You know, where we subtly fade into the background...like a plant, or a picture. People don't trip over us, or run into us, but the perfunctory smile and polite nod, are an equivalent (of sorts). And, so it goes. (Shadow on my face, not a beard).
