On the Brink of Everything by Parker J. Palmer

4.0

This plays out like a gracious visit with an aging friend, pretty much exactly as you’d expect. Parker Palmer borrows and brings poetry to bear on an observed life, and invites us all to deeper intentionality and mindfulness. Several of the essays in the book are stellar, and a few are fairly run-of-the-mill Parker. Perhaps the books structure reflects the act of aging itself- a continual dive into unknowing, a time of reflection, wondering and wandering. A good read with plenty of food for thought.
