A quotation from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Little of all we value here
Wakes on the morn of its hundredth year
Without both feeling and looking queer.
In fact, there’s nothing that keeps its youth,
So far as I know, but a tree and truth.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809-1894) American poet, essayist, scholar
Poem (1858-09), “The Deacon’s Masterpiece,” Atlantic Monthly, Vol. 2, No. 4

Once upon a time, in my youth, I had a friend who was a musician. One day he got a very expensive piece of equipment. It was a synthesizer. You could give it music to play, and provide instrument samples, and it would play the music with your instruments.

One day, we were using his brand-new tool and something took him away from our room. While he was gone, I took control of the device to load 1812 Overture, and then I replaced one of the sections (brass I think it was) with... ducks!

He came back, and I played the piece for him. He laughed, but he also annoyed that I had used a very expensive piece of equipment just to goof off.

I've lost track of my friend. I wonder what he'd think if he knew that I still goof off with expensive pieces of equipment. This and other things in my life make me think that for some of us #ActuallyAutistic folks our mind is ageless.
