The old that is strong does not wither

As I enter a nostalgic mood, I am appreciating some nouns that have maintained their integrity throughout my short lifetime, and the history of mankind.


Insects are very old.I have been afraid of cicadas for a very long time. Thanks, Dad.



Chickens are decedents of velociraptors. Very old. This is also a very old picture of Midge, before she grew in all her beautiful feathers.



I was probably about this old when I suffered a traumatic incident with cicadas.
Also traumatic, how crooked this photo is. Sorry.



My mother's faithful dog is also quite old.
Sweet boy has survived two cats and two corgis. What a trooper.



Polaroids are old. These trees in the Polaroid are old.
They are gone now. And one day I will be too.
But that's alright.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
