    [synopsis] => 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.
