Bob Dylan sings:
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
Of the many things this verse speaks to; one is that while the girls are away, and Dolores and I enjoy the "empty nest" atmosphere that the house now has, the girls are not really "too far" away. There are enough pictures around on the walls and even in the cupboard to surprise you with a view to happy moments in time.
The second thing the verse says to me today is a reinforcement of continuing to learn, share, and collaborate in order to fully participate in this world as we go forward. So don't just sit there (if you are), do something to lend a hand.
