If this is a holy truth--beyond religious belief systems--then each of us must find a way to make peace with the fact that we age, we grow old. Trying to resist or deny the existential reality of bodily change will only lead to suffering, if not despair; we might call it a form of senior bypassing. To embrace the changes both big and small is the fine art of living fully. There is as much cause for celebration as for lament: Beyond the changes and losses, many will observe an abundance of wisdom, courage, integrity, compassion, creativity and love. Join with the poets from around the world in these pages as they grapple poignantly and movingly with the realities of aging. Whatever your age, you are likely to find yourself both inspired and uplifted, maybe even transformed.\u003cbr\u003enursing home garden\u003cbr\u003ethe Kansas wind tousles\u003cbr\u003ehis thin hair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Randy Brooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ethese Christmas lights --\u003cbr\u003ehow I wish my children\u003cbr\u003ewere still small\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lynn Edge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ewheeling her chair\u003cbr\u003ethrough leaf fall. . .\u003cbr\u003ewe sure knew how to dance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bill Pauly \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eit's happened \u003cbr\u003ewe must be truly old . . .\u003cbr\u003esounds\u003cbr\u003eof our neighbour shoveling\u003cbr\u003eour driveway\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Naomi Beth Wakan \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 344\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.72 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 18, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51792607445280,"sku":"9781734125429","price":29.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/15af79e2b282f47468965c288ac9e129.webp?v=1780704963","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/all-the-way-home-aging-in-haiku-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
