for the instant, never more
Tunnels: maybe we are the tunnels, maybe there are tunnels in the wind between us. For now: I say we are the tunnels, and when we intersect, there are two shadows going off in many possible directions, and these are all possible people we can become. Who we see in front of us are unfolded there for the instant, never more, then we are newly unfolding, a thousand times each millisecond. Or more. We are more.

proud of them

higher level of caring
We are in a position to foster—to generate—a new and higher level of caring for elders in our community.

we will lose our audience
If we engage well enough, we will lose our audience. Significant numbers will get up, go out, and start something. They will make a call, go visit someone, gather people and materiel. Engaged, people move. Out.
:- Doug.
