Elders

Elderly people are reduced to putterers, doing little chores, taking out the trash, wrangling the dishes, etc. Trying to be helpful to stay at home, and then drawn into more serious work when needed, and the risks are justified (might break a hip), Or, go to the nursing home? Ram Dass said years ago it doesn't make any difference what you've been today (perhaps you were the president of Harvard, or?), you are nothing but a person on their way to institutonal care in a age of NOW, just a matter of time.
