Epigraph
We loved the earth
but could not stay.
--Loren Eiseley
Dedication
To Jim
First words
Prelude: In May Jim and I hiked the Moraine Trail in Banff National Park.
Introduction: I have always loved older people.
The metaphor of aging and death as visiting another country is at least 1,500 years old.
Quotations
The trouble is, old age is not interesting until one gets there. It's a foreign country with an unknown language to the young and even to the middle-aged. -- Mary Sarton, 'As We Are Now'
