Description
Aging as a passage of discovery and engagement From bestselling author Parker J. Palmer comes a brave and beautiful book for all who want to age reflectively, seeking new insights and life-giving ways to engage in the world. Age itself, he says, is no excuse to wade in the shallows. It's a reason to dive deep and take creative risks. Looking back on eight decades of lifeand on his work as a writer, teacher, and activistPalmer explores what he's learning about self and world, inviting readers to explore their own experience. In prose and poetryand three downloadable songs written for the book by the gifted Carrie Newcomerhe meditates on the meanings of life, past, present, and future. The laws of nature that dictate sundown dictate our demise. But how we travel the arc toward the sunset of our lives is ours to choose: will it be denial, defiance, or collaboration? With compassion and chutzpah, gravitas and levity, Palmer writes about cultivating a vital inner and outer life, finding meaning in suffering and joy, and forming friendships across the generations that bring new life to young and old alike.
