Youth is the strongest, most beautiful, most important thing. We Baby Boomers are now old and worthless. Remember it was this generation—ours—created the youth fixation. We did it to ourselves!

last hours
Life review to judge whether yours was success or failure is a waste of precious life essence. Success and failure are nouns. Your life was alive. It was lived. It is even now being lived. Did you hear the religious stories about death-time metanoia? You can tell a story in words, or in the actions of how you die, in your last hours that could turn a life alive.

How we know
What we are doing: Shaping and being shaped by the how we know what we know. Doing with experience.

A gift to give in final hours
from deep in a hidden box

:- Doug.
