“An exquisitely heart-felt meditation on the paradoxes of love and death, devotion and despair.” -Carol Orsborn, PhD, Author of The Making of an Old Soul: Aging As The Fulfillment Of Life’s Promise
From Richard Matzkin, an award-winning author on aging and relationships, Love and Time is a soul-penetrating, poetic, and raw examination of “The Winter of Life”, filled with poignant anecdotes, poems across cultural and wisdom traditions, and images of his own sculptures, as the author enters his eightieth decade.
The final decades of life are both a challenge and a blessing. With clarity, humor and wisdom, Love and Time explores the preparation needed to make our final years a time of culmination of life rather than stagnation, how to deal with grief from the inevitable losses and debilities that come with aging, whether romance and sexuality endure after all these years, how to find beauty in an aging face and body, confronting our own and our loved one's death, and so much more.
Readers will find:
In equal measure heartening and devastating, Love and Time will reach in and squeeze your heart muscle, every page filled with gentle guidance and reflections on living, loving, and dying well.

"Love and Time is a book I’ve been waiting for, not like any other book on aging I’ve read...A voice of lived experience, rendered thoughtfully, profoundly, provocatively. Indispensable." Harry R. Moody, PhD, Author of over 100 scholarly books and articles on aging and former VP of AARP
"A wonderful and unique book. A series of brief but profound contemplations on the twin mysteries of love and time, as lived by one man with the heart of an artist and the soul of a poet. Take time to savor it." Connie Zweig, Ph.D., Author of The Inner Work of Age: Shifting from Role to Soul
