age no bar

We are staying in a house with 40 people, at least half of them are over 80 years old!  They put us to shame, and I saw two who I know to be over 90 joining in with washing up and that after a full day.  Their secret (of course you know what I am going to say), is meditation.  Alongside that is an attitude of active interest in knowing what enlightenment might be and great kindness to each other.  I am in awe of their approach to the daily round of life.  We ended the evening with all 40 of us singing some old favourites, Swing Low Sweet Chariot, Amazing Grace and I gave my Love a Cherry and finished with the reading from Corinthians on the nature of charity.  It was just right.
