Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past. Guilty of looking at our young people and calling them “soft”—as if we were born warriors, as if we didn’t have to become who we are through fire, failure, and guidance.

Breeze in the morning

It is funny how quickly things can change. Just last week I was drenched with sweat and this morning the fall breeze hit me and chills ran through my body. Life is ever changing and morphing for us, and the best we can do is enjoy the ride. Life sends out suttle and sometimes harsh omens of what is to come. Prayerfully those on the journey learn to heed these warnings and prepare.
Fall is the time of year that allows us to remember the lessons of the past and prepare for the future. Although it is not fall yet nature is giving us a warning of what is to come. Cold mornings lead to cold afternoons, and cold afternoons, lead to cold eveings which bring cold nights. Take this time to cool off from your summer cycle and reflect on the lessons that this dying year has brought. We are 8 months into this cycle. Which means this year has more time behind it than before it.
What have you learned this year, what type of year was it for you, what lessons were you supposed to get or did you even get the lesson. Pay attention to the cycles of nature because they put you in tune with the cycles of your life. For the world it is the end of the summer cycle, but for you it could be any of the other seasons, but you would only know that if you paid attention.
