“Coming of Aging” is live! So are we.
Welcome.
Coming of aging, like coming of age, explores those times when changes in our body initiates big changes in our lives.
My interest is our experience of aging, how we feel, what we think, what we learn, how we heal, what new pleasures emerge as we go through the aging process with awareness and curiosity… and what changes come as we see death on the horizon.
You may know me from my public work: Your Money or Your Life (perennial bestseller) or the Conversation Cafes or my podcast, What Could Possibly Go Right? I’ve linked those so you can explore them, but here, it’s story-telling, humor, humility and grace. Sometimes those topic bleed into posts as life review.
Western civilization is also “coming of aging” after a 500-year run since the Renaissance and a 250 run of the American Empire. Through the inner work of “coming of aging” I now see how our country is also at the end of a long story with many skeletons in many closets.
Will we do the “coming of aging” work - reconciliation, amends, reparations, maturing - as a nation?
