Am I just a hair wiser?

Gray hairs are...

Like grains of sand falling in a hourglass

When they appear

Marking the passage of time

Predictable, yet surprising

Never quite sure where they will appear

Or even when they will show up

Like some type of 'Body Bingo', and my face is the ‘Free Space’

They don’t lay down or blend in, do they?

No, the stick out, no matter mustache, eyebrow, inner nose, or outer ear

‘Bingo’! I got five in a row!

It was not there yesterday - B12

Or even this morning! - I17

Look at this one, it’s half brown and half grey - N33

Rolling down a pile of other gray hairs - G47

Proof that another moment has passed - O55!

And I have lived…

Taken up space

Created, loved, praised, learned, listened, read, laughed

And perhaps, now am I just a hair wiser?
