Long before apples were cultivated it is believed they grew wild.
The Pips of Child Life II: The Middle Years of Play Programs in Hospitals offers the concept that the middle
years of a profession is rather complex to pin down. . Unlike the lives of individuals, for whom second lives aren’t
usually available, professions often experience a unique longevity. The flow and crossover of generations
allows for a revisiting of people, events and milestones as each new generation unfolds. The potential for the
application of lessons learned in one life onto the pathway of the next, exists only when one ventures to look
back as a way to look forward. What is defined as the middle years now, of course, was once someone’s future.
