Review
'Better to spend a day meditating on a single page of her writing than to read a stack of books on enlightenment.' -- Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul and The Planets Within 'Helen Luke is a unique voice that carries beautiful passion, feeling, and clarity. She is clearly one of our most precious national treasures.' -- Helen Pinkola Estes, author of Women Who Run with the Wolves
From the Publisher
Luke teaches us, growing older becomes freedom.
In these five related essays, Luke presents us with her very potent insights into a phase of life that until now has not been fully incorporated into our understanding of the inner journey. Drawing on masterworks of Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, and T.S. Eliot, she explores attitudes on aging to illuminate the spiritual possibilities of truly "growing into" old age. For those who recognize the moment, who choose to let go and embrace the "gifts reserved for age," Luke teaches us, growing older becomes freedom.
