Older people are a special presence of God
among us. This is so, not only because old age
brings wisdom (it does not always do so), but
because the twilight of life is a time of extreme
refinement. The spirit becomes humble. There are
fewer idols. False illusions and false promises crumble and
this enables older people to become more perceptive. Old age
can be a very dark hour, but for this very reason, it can also be
the eve that ushers in life's Eternal Dawn.
