Description
What do you think would happen if the world’s oldest living thing, the Methuselah Tree (more than 4,500 years old), met the shortest-lived creature, the Mayfly (about one day)? Would the oldster learn anything about living in the moment, as though each day was the last, from the youngster?
This is an allegory about the beauty of living life with exuberance and how, with a little inspiration, even someone set in his or her ways can change and have a happier life.
