TIME GOES BY | Quarterstaff Revolution
Imagine a scene: an older woman using a bent-top walking cane crosses a building lobby, trying to reach the elevator before the doors roll closed. Now imagine the same scene with the older woman striding across the lobby with the aid of a seven-foot, oak quarterstaff. People hold the door open not because of chivalry, not out of a desire to help little old ladies, but rather because she just looks so damned cool.
Elders are obligated to give younger people clues about how deep and mysterious elderhood can be.

What, exactly, is a quarterstaff?
It’s basically a really big stick. ;^) Think wizards and mages with their big staffs, or kung fu fights. ;^)
