The author's comments:Five years ago, at age 80, I undertook a quest for spiritual awakening. This has taken me to quite unexpected places. I experienced a brief awakening in my 30's and I thought I might just return there permanently with some effort. I had not bargained on having to see my egotism up close day after day or to see how attached I was to a separate me and all my judgements. Nor had I anticipated the most precious gift, a new ability to form intimate friendships.My path has been simple. I read the writing of spiritual teachers, mostly contemporary, and walk in nature two to three hours each day. I have found that the Taoist, Zen, and Advaita Vedanta perspectives suite me.Interspersed within the memoir segments are poems written on my meditative walks.
