Description :
Later life, for all the challenges and changes that come with it, is a time to
embark upon a uniquely exciting adventure. It is, in many ways, an inner
journey, one of deepening our understanding of our lives and our selves by
tapping into the rich cache of experiences that have assembled silently inside
of us through the years. When viewed with insight, openness and wonder,
aging is an adventure in truly growing older, rather than passively, resignedly
getting older.In Fairy Tale Wisdom, authors Bill Randall, Barbara Lewis, and
Andy Achenbaum crawl inside an assortment of fables, parables, and other
stories that they recall from their childhood and revisit them as older adults.
They re-read and re-member timeless tales like Hansel and Gretel, The Ugly
Duckling, The Tortoise and The Hare, plus many others, through the lens of
the still-unfolding stories of their own lives, with all the losses and loves, the
layers and learning that 70-odd years involve. Reflecting on these stories with
a blend of playfulness and seriousness, the authors find themselves asking
questions, making out patterns, and stumbling onto truths (not always
comfortable) to which they might otherwise be blind. This delightful book is an
invitation to see these old tales with fresh eyes and celebrate the wisdom that
lurks between the lines of your own life.
