If youre at ease in your season, if you can dwell in its vanishing, joy and sorrow never touch you. This is what the ancients called getting free. --Chuang Tzu "Aidans crisis had liberated me in a way. We had come close to death, had looked over the edge of the precipice, and then moved back. He would die at some point, perhaps young, maybe very young. He was profoundly disabled, even more so than he had been before. But his near-death had altered my vision. The length of his life or the physical particulars of his life were not as important as the mere fact of his life itself. He was following along in his own season, moving on the currents of the Way. I could feel myself starting to get free." --from Aidans Way *** Quantity Available: 1. Category: Biography & Autobiography; ISBN: 1570719039. ISBN/EAN: 9781570719035. Inventory No: 20041031.…
