:- Doug.

Goals are end-points. Purposes flow

:- Doug.

:- Doug.

The task is to bring us to an opening: how will we next use our hearts and minds For the Grandchildren?

:- Doug.

:- Doug.

:- Doug.

Eldering is a growth task. Eldering is a vision task. Eldering is a spirit task.

:- Doug.

:- Doug.

safe for deer,
furry critters, and us

:- Doug.

I believe
I have
relaxed my grip

:- Doug.

Listening is doing to another
Hearing is letting another inside us

:- Doug.

Friend, I dive into you, glide, rest, am filled, and completing.

:- Doug.

As you age you draw all people to you.

:- Doug.

You’re not wise? Fine. Give the best of what you have.

:- Doug.

My grandchild, my elder!

:- Doug.
