Synopsis
From beloved and bestselling author Parker J. Palmer ( Let Your Life Speak, The Courage to Teach, Healing the Heart of Democracy ), comes a beautiful book of reflections on what we can learn as we move closer to "the brink of everything." Drawing on eight decades of life -- and his career as a writer, teacher, and activist -- Palmer explores the questions age raises and the promises it holds. "Old," he writes, "is just another word for nothing left to lose, a time to dive deep into life, not withdraw to the shallows." But this book is not for elders only. It was written to encourage adults of all ages to explore the way their lives are unfolding. It's not a how-to-do-it book on aging, but a set of meditations in prose and poetry that turn the prism on the meaning(s) of one's life, refracting new light at every turn. From beginning to end, the book is laced with humor as well as gravitas -- beautifully enhanced by three free downloadable songs from the gifted singer-songwriter Carrie Newcomer , written in response to themes in the book., "This impassioned book invites readers to the deep end of life where authentic soul work and human transformation become pressing concerns." - Publishers Weekly 2019 Independent Publisher Book Awards Gold Medalist in the Aging/Death & Dying Category 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 life-and on his work as a writer, teacher, and activist-Palmer explores what he's learning about self and world, inviting readers to explore their own experience. In prose and poetry-and three downloadable songs written for the book by the gifted Carrie Newcomer-he meditates on the meanings of life, past, present, and future. 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. "This book is a companion for not merely surviving a fractured world, but embodying-like Parker-the fiercely honest and gracious wholeness that is ours to claim at every stage of life." -Krista Tippett, New York Times -bestselling author of Becoming Wise "A wondrously rich mix of reality and possibility, comfort and story, helpful counsel and poetry, in the voice of a friend . . . This is a book of immense gratitude, consolation, and praise." -Naomi Shihab Nye, National Book Award finalist, "This impassioned book invites readers to the deep end of life where authentic soul work and human transformation become pressing concerns." -- Publishers Weekly 2019 Independent Publisher Book Awards Gold Medalist in the Aging/Death & Dying Category From bestselling author Parker J.
