A diverse group of ten elders share stories of spiritual evolution over the course of their lives. Growing from childhood exposure to parental beliefs, each one stubbornly makes his or her own way to what gives them a sense of meaning and a connection to all of life.The stories range over a map of many possibilities: from Shamanism to Alcoholics Anonymous; from Buddhism to a Native American perspective; from Christianity to finding inspiration in the presence of a very special mountain.Honesty about the fires that have forged identity cuts through any pretense of having all the answers. Age has cooled down rage and angst to curiosity and a steady glow of readiness to see what comes next. A sense of peace and appreciation has developed over time, though there is always an edge of wonder, of not having a complete understanding but rather simply a knowing that they are moving in the right direction.This book is meant to be a source of information and encouragement for those in early stages of spiritual exploration, as well as those who are summing up their discoveries as they enter into the final stages of life.
