Synopsis

How are we to live? When we are done with providing and procuring, when we have had enough noise, nonsense and negativity, when we no longer wish to gather up trophies, toys and talismans, what is left? Do we see a dark wall or a shimmering edge?Written with the wisdom of maturity and the experience of a Psychologist with a Zen, Contemplative, Twelve Step background, this book is a journal of a seventieth birthday year. November Roses addresses issues of aging, recovery and spirituality with both humor and candor as it traces a memorable passage. A year of challenges. A year of mindfulness. A year of life on the edge.
