In honor of our dear friend, Parker J. Palmer's 85th birthday!
Happy Birthday Parker!
I am six months ahead of you in arriving at the BIG 8-5. I can’t say “You’re Gonna Love It.” 🤪. Most of my landmarks - my husband, old friends, old creative connections - are gone and I am learning what it is to be lonely, even as I continue to value solitude. I recognize this old age passage as a powerful period of spiritual awareness and evolution, but it’s also a time of diminishing autonomy and increased dependence on others, especially children and grandchildren.
Your wisdom and candor have been a gift to me. May we very old folks continue to speak our truth and reveal our wounds until the very end. ☺️. BIRTHDAY BLESSINGS…. Nancy Wilson
Happy birthday, Parker! I’m a new fan to this following and am using your latest book with my colleagues. Thank you for your gifts and resources to help us work through these tough times. Here’s to many more years of giving and receiving. 💗
