They were very kind by saying that they had things they wanted from me as well. And so part of what's important here in increasing the age range of folks who do spiritual direction is that an intergenerational dialogue at this time in history is invaluable. In fact, I think it's critical to our future. And the older I get, the more I understand that. And the more new life I get from connecting with people one and two generations younger than myself. I think this new world that's coming at us, this new horizon, is way too complex to be understood without that intergenerational dialogue. And so I want to urge spiritual directors international to continue their outreach to younger people to bring them into their ranks.1
