THE ELDERS

 Vitality is an economy. Keep a budget. 

Intimacy is not to be rationed. 

Change rhythm with age. 

Keep body and mind in balance, no more, no less. 

After intimacy ask how you feel. 

Calm, energised, affectionate? 

The rhythm is right. 

Depleted, irritable, restless? 

Adjust. 

The bidy gives the verdict. 

Age calender is only a hint.

 Allow elders to love as they age. 

Intimacy in later life is a vital part.of human flourishing. 

Don't cage it in silence instead. 

Family's wealth should serve its elder's lives, 

not stand guard over their solitude.
