—  The vital life —

An online magazine and resource for older people in Ireland

The expression Élan Vital, was coined by the French philosopher Henri Bergson and it stands for both energy and awareness. It is a life force within all of us. Teilhard de Chardin saw life as ceaseless activity and invention. It is possible that the opposite to a vital life is depression.

The editor is recovering from an operation for a 2nd detached retina and will be back to work ASAP
