Intergenerational dialogue!

Helped facilitate a talk today about the gifts of each generation, and how they are meant to work together in the overall narrative. I think of generations less as age, and more as “generations of purposes”. What this might require on all parts, but also where it could take us in the long epic poetry we are all part of. When i go to a cafe i like sitting at long tables with many generations—the conversation is just richer when we bring more perspectives to the table.

Great interview, went well, will put it up as soon as edited! I’m very interested in inter-generational dialogue and what it looks like when we work in tandem across generations. I like sitting at the table with all ages, and all generations of His Purposes, and thinking about how they are meant to work together! Inter-generational dialogue is one of the missing ingredients in our independently spirited times, i think. Me, must become we, as we get older!

Usually there are at least three generations working at once on earth; interesting to think of how they are meant to co-bless one another into fruitfulness and fulfillment of their unique purposes! How we can see ourselves as humble participants in a grander multi-generational narrative!

What were the gifts and calling of your generation, how does my generation fit into and bless the other’s fulfillment, is often a starting question. What is my generation’s role in the overall narrative? Where have I used my own generation’s gifts to bless the others in both directions-those older and younger?! I’ve had many dreams about this topic in which i was blessing the elders, hanging out and validating peers, and teaching and guiding the ones to come–that balance is part of the calling of my own generation, i think!

What are the unique shadows and strengths of my own generation, and how have they helped or hindered inter-generational conversation? Is another useful lead heart question!

Have I actively sought out those older than me, to bless and honor. By doing so, i make a clearing in the forest of spiritual growth for those behind me! And, if we believe the great commandments, get the blessings of health, long life and meaningfulness. Fun thinking about how to bless each generation into it’s full expression, and how they are meant to work in tandem!

Fun interview, fun and useful meditation for our times! This theme keeps returning in my daily experience, as I often find myself sitting between two generations and having to translate. I like being a translator between cultures and languages and generations.

That is perhaps one of my own generation’s callings. To be interpreters, translators, those who understand the overarching story we are engaged in becoming! Fun trying anyways! And a blast as always facilitating conversation between the generations! I love being the comma or coda in between, and sensing and piecing (Peacing?) together the whole long narrative song!
