The Wise Elder


The wise elder knows that a balanced life is about both saving and savoring the world. She sees the world as whole, and the whole is not just 'us' and 'our' predicaments. Whatever language we give to that, whether we call it spiritual or something else, the central idea is to recognize that it's about something much bigger than we are, and that we each need to sort out our roles in it.
