Son, I want you to listen to me.
I have something important to say Yes dad No son, really listen. Come, sit next to me. Ok dad I’m not young like you, but I was once. I know dad. If this is about the… No son It’s not. You promised to listen. Sorry dad… Well, can you see I’m aging? I’m not the same as I was before. You look great for your age Yes? How old am I? You are 10? No son, I’m over 100 years old. Like I said dad, you look great for your age. In my life I have seen a lot of things. I’ve seen a rainbow after a storm. I’ve seen clouds that took a swim in the ocean. I’ve seen divers find treasures only to die of sunburn. I’ve seen captains risk their lives to save a whale and others risk a whale to save their lives. My son, I’ve seen a lot. Every wrinkle, every stain of rust, every hole in my crumbling body is something I’ve seen and learned. I know dad… can I go now? Son, you promised me you listen, will you keep your promise? Yes dad. Well, after all I’ve seen there is one thing I know. What’s that dad? I’ve learned I know nothing. I can’t explain, and I can’t predict anything. Life is a big storm, and we must assume we can drown in any minute. I don’t understand. If I know nothing, how do I know that? Now son, Now I know you were listening. I think it’s my time to go.

You are far but you are so close. You are different but so similar. I feel you as a part of myself, I feel you as an essential part of my own world, I feel you as my real Brother.
