For being the oldest person in the class by a good margin. A judgment-free workbook for taking your seat anyway.

For picking up something new when youre no longer young. A warm workbook that says its never the wrong time to begin.

For the questions a long life never quite answered. A quiet workbook that honors the wondering you still carry.

For the thing you have wanted to take up but wondered if it was too late for, and for meeting that beginning as a real one.

For wanting to take up something new when the people around you quietly expect you will not, and for not letting that become your ceiling.

For staying interested in a world that keeps changing into shapes you did not choose, and for what turning toward it gives back.
