Holding everything and looking for what’s missing

What is the spiritual tension of eldering?
To what must I die today?
The tension between being and powerlessness, among tension, relaxation, both, neither, outcomes, non-attachment
Among respiration, inspiration, expiration, and the two still points in the betweens
Among whole and part and larger, either/or/neither
Among living for others, self, play, playfulness, fullness, emptiness, largeness
The tension of holding everything and looking for what is missing

:- Doug.
