Irony called Life

The Irony
I took this pic myself and the very first thing which struck my mind while clicking this one was the irony it depicted. There is a tree ,which is oh not so old, and in the background someone who is old. This is an image of a village lady sitting in the basking sun, cherishing the lovely morning.
There is a thought in her mind , perhaps many , and what can that be. The greenery of the tree, so prominent in the picture, catches the eye instantly but as the focus has ignored her in this picture similarly she may be in her life by her family. Its the story of everyone's life (exceptions excluded) , you are born and you get all the attention , you grow up and you grab attention and as you grow old you lose attention.
The thoughts in the mind of a person who has covered the maximum probable distance in their life surely echoes what all that person did in their entire life. So I am afraid at times that, if I do something wrong, what will my thoughts be at an age when I have nothing else to do than think of the milestones in my journey called 'Life'. So I try to do what I feel is right at my heart.
Sometimes the thought of being so alone and lonely shudders the young heart in me.The look on the face of the old lady in the picture speaks a thousand words though she does not. The plant in the foreground represents the distance between her present and her greener age.The picture depicts Spring and Autumn at the same time.
Live life to the fullest, till you can...
Be Young at heart and stay greener on the inside, though what people see is autumn

Dear Aditya:
I liked you anology of the picture with the elderly woman in the background and the young tree up front. The window of opportunity for people over a certain age is still open but on a different plane of existence. One can choose which path to go down or several paths to have adventures on. To me life is a movie where we can use a different script anytime or at any age. Maybe I am more blessed than this woman we see in the photo. Maybe she is more blessed. Different insecurities come with all ages. Only one thing, in any dimension, is absolute...love.
Hi Dalriada
Thanks for the encouraging comment.
I really liked the way you put down your thoughts here.
I am a firm believer of the last line you have written in your comment. Its not said in vain that "True Love can move mountains"...but you got to feel love when its true , when its from the heart. Love, that is symbolic cannot soothe the nomad in you. So I wish that everyone experiences true love in someway or the other in their lives..
Cheers!!!
Aditya
