The works of aging
Meaning, identity, loss, transcendence, despair, laughter, tears, undone, undoing, teaching, spirit, leaving, review, learning: these are some of the works of aging.
Here is hope in dying. The specific hope will of course be different for each of us and each group of us. Yet the dying helps us go on. We are deeply enlivened by what we learn from those who are dying. Other beasts and even vegetation recycle physically into food for lives great and small who come later; perhaps we humans can cycle our spirits’ best to others of our species. Death can be a growth of spirit. But we must attend.
