Task of imagining
Eldering is in large portion a task of imagining. Imagining yourself into the grandchildren’s world, imagining a future discontinuous with the present culture.

Few choose elder
There are today few elders because we do not choose; few choose because we do not imagine.

No measuring stick
Past adult we need a different measuring stick. For instance, speed, ability to move fingers or juggle numbers, eyesight have no place. Insight to a larger world, spiritual unfolding, and mediating between numinous and mundane are examples of eldering. Measuring itself is inappropriate for elder.
