Elders can leaven futures.

I am a beginning elder; we have a task.

The somes of elders:
Some hug the grandchildren
Many hear them out
Some are activists
Writers poets playmates
Some unable to walk talk think
show us how to receive love
Or in their tiny rooms
care for the cosmos
provide the still point for focus
Untroubled ascend the heights ahead of us
:- Doug.
Eldering is unfolding meaning, extending human reach.
:- Doug.
Elders search out the theme, motif of a life, of life, of society.
