You need not figure out what is your prime message as an elder, once and for all time. What’s your message today? :- Doug.

Do you want to be the same as you have been? :- Doug.

Eldering is not about having arrived, rather intentionally crossing thresholds. :- Doug.

I can indeed make an age at this difference. :- Doug.

Be not an instructor. Be a sharer. :- Doug.

What’s your name? Again. Again. Again. Again. I am Douglas Germann. I am father, husband, lover. I am gatherer, community disorganizer. I am more than this. Son, brother, of humanity, of mystery. Larger. Now you…. :- Doug.

Elder-time is a call to growth. Some hear. Some answer. :- Doug.

Same thing for the elders themselves. There are people out there who want to do something: I need to seek them out. :- Doug.
