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.

Suns rise

I was blessed to be picked up by 3 of my sons recently and they taught me an important lesson that will resonate with me forever. They discussed with me their personal life goals.

Just take care of them, keep as many pest away as possible, and fertilize them with your ideas. Then one day they will begin to bare fruit.
As I sat and listened and conversed with these young men they made me proud. Because they all were talking about going into business for themselves. To sit their and see my young suns rise brought a light to my heart, and let me know that no matter how hard the Journey may be or may get in the end it is worth it.
I would encourage everyone that reads this short article to take some time on your walk and invest in the next generation. Your pay back will be watching them blossom and bear fruit, and who knows maybe you will be able to eat from their tree in times of need. hahahaahaaa
Nuff said
Peace & 1hunidyears
