Mom and Dad and spouse have died
there is no old homestead to which to return
we can make our home here
if we choose
among this people

:- Doug.

If you cannot sleep
Then may your dusk and dawn be
of life productive!

:- Doug.

Express yourself
O artist! O human!
and explore your self!

:- Doug.

Beyond your self
Beyond your aches and pains
But not on every cross

:- Doug.

A threshold of elders

:- Doug.

Conspire for life!

:- Doug.

You can do better than hospital-think! It is not right nor even salutary to concentrate 100% on disease; we need to concentrate on living. Escape the institution: help them elope!

:- Doug.

Let’s move retirement facilities from being warehouses to hotbeds of meaning and purpose.

:- Doug.

Leap spirit!
stitch untouched
betweens!

:- Doug.

The dawn
The dusk
My spirit O!

:- Doug.

Grey at the temples
adds to many a life the
play of new colors

:- Doug.

My spirit tells me
end of life conversations matter
eldering days of life matter

:- Doug.

We speak for the seventh generation:
our parents coughed and sputtered
we never were

:- Doug.

A counsel of elders

:- Doug.

Disorienting
aids the spirit’s
expanding

:- Doug.

You speak at the speed of sound
and move at the speed of light;
by the time you hear me
I am gone
Float like a butterfly
zing like a bee
who are we, conversingly?

:- Doug.

The last chapters
The harvest chapters

:- Doug.

Where middle agers see ups and downs in events as almost jagged edges, elders can see a smoother outline.

:- Doug.

What are the duties of elders?

:- Doug.

You might be a WOG (Wise Old Goat) if you….

:- Doug.

What are the elements and kinds of wisdom of elders which we can find in one another?

:- Doug.

Search if in his or her core
this one you meet lives out
a decision unsettling
