From the Tarot of the Cat People, the Five of Pentacles; from the Insectorum Divinorum, the Brood:
Weary at the close of day, wondering if tomorrow brings me joy or sorrow. —Leon Redbone
As much as we'd like to deny it, aging means a loss of some of the abilities we had in our youth. Yet as Albert Camus wrote, "To grow old is to pass from passion to compassion." Elders are not used up and worthless: we have much knowledge and wisdom to share with a world that desperately needs it. The Brood indicates a new generation, one that will leap into life with enthusiasm. But even the young will experience pain and setbacks. We older folks can show them how to find their interest and excitement in life again.
