Intergenerational Connecting
By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter
“Old man, take a look at my life, I’m a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that’s true.”
Neil Young wrote the beautiful song, “Old Man” as a 24-year-old talking to an older man who was the caretaker of a ranch he purchased. Without going through much detail, Young’s song is about the awareness that he and the older man are alike in many ways.
For those who have been giving for a long time, male or female, many younger than us crave a little time with us to be heard professionally and personally.
They may be earlier on the road than we are but there is a lot that we can offer without being attached to having the right answer.
“I’ve been first and last
Look at how the time goes past
But I’m all alone at last
Rolling home to you”
And for those younger, If you are going to ask for time or advice, take the time to listen.
They are/I am your future . . . if you’re lucky.
