:- Doug.

As an elder, your being is doing, your doing being.

You reach a point where you do not have to choose anymore between being and doing. The two converge. The former split now seems artificial. There are new dynamics at work. From around you, not called forth by you, nor even from within you, new power arises. It is lighter. You no longer pin the hopes of the world on what you do. You no longer seek to charm those about. You laugh with. You enjoy. Simply, you meet. Being to being.
