We are the pioneers
We are the pioneers. People will learn from us what eldering is. Even the Quakers who have such a word do not see in it what I see in it—something akin to grandmothering and grandfathering. Only larger.
How is it bigger than grandmothering? We have a larger focus: not simply a stash of cookies, or tutoring in Spanish, but development of the person, the soul, the people, or maybe larger still.
