I Am As I Was When I Was Young

A note from Dr. Hendrix

This little poem circles a quiet realization — that I can no more remember my childhood worries than I can, now, hold onto the ones that troubled me for decades. I wrote it because our concerns feel so permanent while we carry them and vanish so completely afterward, and there is a strange comfort in that.

When I was as young as I can remember, I can’t remember any concern I might have had. I can’t remember crying, complaining, cussing – I just can’t remember any concern I might have had. decades have now passed, I have had my  concerns. I have cussed, complained and cried. Yet, right now I can’t remember those  concerns. I am as I was when I was young.
