Can be also "maturity" instead of "maturing", Lilly?

"maturing" in the sense of "development/transcendence"

Thank you, dear Lilly.

So, I think "maturare" would be better here, because it idicates some process, not a result like "maturitas". Do you agree, dear Alex?

Would "animum maturare" be better than "maturare animum" ?

Yes, it would.
You know I'm not sure if we can use accusative here. If the verb becomes a gerund (=a noun) it can take another grammatical case. I think that the genitive is needed here.
We don't ask "what is maturing", but "of what this is maturing"...

Then does "animum maturandi" convey the source?

No, no... I ment that the gerund should take the genitive here: "animi maturare".

I've never seen this use of the genitive.
But of course I believe it.

No, I'm wrong, dear. Leave it like it is, please, but with the different order. I'm sorry for my mixing up. I need a rest I think.
