My problem with being stern is that I am taking a role, one I have not played before and have only thought through one line or two. Better in the moment to invent ways to be friendly and gracious and see how deep I can go with that.

I invite this old age estuary to pour into the sea, to expand and spread itself. This is a larger picture than devising the meaning of one’s life, of hugging and forgiving and laughing and crying at our death bed. We all are poured out into the great sea; we all spread out and expand. This is something to celebrate, not mourn. We can pour out our libation into the great sea, and become larger whole.

Walt Whitman wrote about life and me concluding the good we are is to add our verse to the “powerful play,” that “life exists and identity.”

That is what we are after as individuals, is it not: identity? We need to know that this individual jot mattered, was heard, made a difference: touched and this one’s touch was felt.
