Suggested change to statement on aging in Shambhala

Gary Kellam has proposed the following changes.

Old version (November 2009):

(4) In Shambhala we can simultaneously recognize both the opportunity to be more openly engaged with the world as we grow older, and the inevitable decline in physical and mental capacities, culminating in death.

Proposed new version:

“(4) In Shambhala we can recognize both the opportunity to be more
openly engaged with the world as we grow older and, at the very same
time, the increasing likelihood of conditions that lessen mental
capacity and the inevitable decline in physical capacities that
culminates in death.”

Many thanks to Gary for this important suggestion.
