Teach Us to Number Our Days: Keys for Adept Aging
KEYS FOR ADEPT AGING
Throughout history most successful and long-lived civilizations have held a place of respect for elders, and have benefited from their life wisdom. By and large this tradition is missing today, to the detriment not only of elders but also of society.
True elders are people who have gracefully accepted the passage of time, integrated their life experience with deep understanding, and made the fruit of their long experience available to others.
But how does one do this? How does one become a true elder? One can become old simply by surviving the passage of years. But an elder is someone who has earned authority and respect by virtue of advanced age, experience, integrity, and understanding. As history shows, for their families and for societies at large, elders can be and frequently are profoundly strengthening influences.”
By drawing from the wisdom of the ages, Teach Us to Number Our Days opens up a range of thoughtful pathways for cultivating soul maturity. Readers will be enriched.
