What this episode covers
Youth and age flow together but there is a tension: all who are older have been young, yet the young do not know what’s it like to be old. John and Lynn tiptoe into the sensations, the experience, and the bittersweet experience of both conditions. Are the young oblivious to the demands of time or just in a present that seems unending? How do those who feel their aging look back on their younger selves and accept where they are now?
