Weak with tiny orbit

In retirement, in old age, the charge of the corporation, nation, and economy is removed from us. We no longer make decision in millions or hundreds of thousands of Dollars and hundreds of jobs. In what ways then is this a culmination? Mark that it is.

As our concerns and powers reduce to human size, something barely noticed but real opens for us.

We are weak and small with a tiny orbit. We are also agents of generations.

In playing with the grandchildren, in baking cookies, in telling stories, knitting and praying, we are touching the lives of their grandchildren.
