"Our Elders", number 118 of 200 from Robert Aitken's book Miniatures of a Zen Master.
Popular culture is a poor substitute for communal culture. There are now not any elders in my life and I'm poorer for it. Seems to me that the generation before mine also had/has a dearth of mentoring elders. Who will break this chain of catastrophe?
