*Warning: final phase of the downward spiral.

I'm concerned for the very young as well as the very old.
Though I know that my concern is ill-founded, because I trust 'all that is'.

As opportunities arise for me to help others through this, I'll be doing my part.

Dan I was talking to an old man today and he told me he's glad he has lived his life.
It's going to be hard for everyone at any age.

That is so nice Humble Janitor. Our elderly in our modern culture are shoved into institutions and forgotten about....it is so sad. The young people are too busy with their work and lifestyle to visit their elderly parents in these places. The loneliness is very hard on them, & quite often they give up and die sooner than they would, if they were able to live at home.

Sorry....don't mean to take this tread off track

Swanny: I agree with you and others on here. I believe it is necessary for the existing systems to crumble, in order to make way for the new ways to come forward.

I am not at all worried about what will take its place. Somewhere within me, I know and trust that all of what is to be, has been planned out and will be put into place for a whole new paradigm.

I agree though, that in the meantime, while the last remnants are being torn down, there will be great hardship for all of us, of all ages and status. In my opinion, this is unavoidable. There is a certain healing also that can occur within each of us, as we go through this purification. Its a good thing.

That's ok as it relates to Dan's concern about the older folks who might be left behind should things collapse.

My grandmother is very fortunate to still have her house. Breaking her hip didn't quite stop her, though it's slowed her down a bit.

True Swanny and if I live to a ripe old age than I'd think the same way. But if I get to that ripe old age and am just a vegetable laying in a bed in a nursing home and can't wipe my own butt, then put me out of my misery! I don't care, choke me, shoot me, or roll me out in front of a bus.
