Catalyst: "Like Trees Walking: In the Second Half of Life" from Cowley Publications, by Jane Sigloh, 173 pages, paperback, c. 2007, $13.95
[Source: Cowley Publications] Many of us are fast approaching the "golden years" of retirement, wondering with fear -- and hope -- what the future holds for us. And you won't find a better companion for the journey of aging than Jane Sigloh. She's witty, perceptive, and wise. A retired Episcopal priest, she is possessed of both reverent awe and irreverent honesty about the facts and fantasies of growing old. She interweaves the insights of Scripture, poetry, fiction, and philosophy into her memories and reflections on the challenges and opportunities that maturity brings. Dip into any of these chapters and find a refreshing perspective, a humorous anecdote, or an intimate confession that will ring true to your own experience.
