Metaphorical ancestors
If all of us are grandchildren, all of us also are actual or metaphorical ancestors.
:- Doug.
Nor optimistic nor pessimistic
Neither optimistic nor pessimistic about aging: rather trying to see what unknown more it might be.
:- Doug.
Still in our intents
Generativity is in doing things as much as being; I maintain that when being comes to the fore, generativity is still in our intents.
:- Doug.
waters of newness and change
Life arises in waters of creativity, growth, newness and change.
:- Doug.
Skill: reconstellate
In age we reconstellate. Not just our lives but our work and our world: the meanings of these things. This is a skill we have been given by virtue of our seasoning and perhaps our desire and time to contemplate.

On cooking fish:
You can boil ’em,
fry ’em,
bake ’em,
broil ’em;
you gotta cut ’em and gut ’em;
you need to catch ’em first and
let the ones who are not ready grow;
you bread ’em
or spice ’em;
you eat ’em and say yum;
and then they go through the system and
to the waters and
to the air and
to the sun and
become something else all over again.
Your spirit is a fish.
Please pass it on.
