Eldering

“Eldering is not merely a role allocated to older people. Being an elder only exists in our relationships with others. A teenage counselor at summer camp can be Eldering the children, a mature boss can be Eldering a younger employee, a widow can be Eldering a new mother. What matters is not one’s age, but one’s commitment to others, to one’s community and to creating a sustainable future for all.”
—Shae Hadden

"If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse human gift will find a fitting place."
—Margaret Mead
