No one on this crew knows the work like I do; my hands learned it before some of them were born. But I feel every one of those years now, in my knees, my back, the mornings it takes longer to get moving. I looked at my worn boots today and wondered what all this labor left me with. A lifetime in these fields, and I'm still not sure what I have to show for it.
More people experience this than they realize.
A lifetime of labor has mastered you and worn you out, and you wonder what it left you.
