a little bit from T.S. Eliot:

Love is most nearly itself
When here and now cease to matter.
Old men ought to be explorers
Here or there does not matter
We must be still and still moving
Into another intensity
For a further union, a deeper communion

Learning is important and we should never stop learning, changing and becoming even when we are old.

Reflection is also important. ‘we must be still and still moving’ - in stillness we can move into deeper understanding.
