          George,

          I tried to get the jest of what you were saying, but
          lost it possibly in my own translation.  As a policy
          analyst and also author of gerontological nursing texts and
          articles I think you were trying to say that man when he
          ages still has a need to be loved and belong
          and this may not manifest itself in touching or
          socialization. I am very analyitical and philosphical in my
          approach. As I age, I now experience the many consequences
          that I have taught and write about.  The reality makes me
          delve deeper as I wish to convey not only my thoughts but
          the reality of what does indeed exist.

          How then, as I age, do I communicate that I still feel,
          desire...although my youth is not visible, my heart is
          light and ready for flight?

          Just a thought.
