{"product_id":"the-fifth-season","title":"The Fifth Season","description":"Now in his seventies, poet and philosopher Mark Nepo explores the rhythms of aging in the second half of life.\n\nAs the years go by, the question for each of us becomes more and more real: What does it mean to age? Despite the limitations that come as the body wears down, Mark Nepo believes that there are many gifts to inhabit by aging. So much is gained and so much is shed along the way.\n\nAs Mark began to reflect on the gifts and challenges of this process we’re all immersed in, he realized, more than ever, that we are called to live a creative life as we age. We are led to what the Chinese call “the fifth season”―that moment in late summer when the glare of the sun fades so that we can see clearly the true colors around us.\n\nThe Fifth Season offers Mark’s wise and gentle insights on growing older, helping readers identify the second half of life as a turning point, a time of integration and transformation that guides us in making sense of our experiences. All seasons lead to this season; all experiences lead to this understanding of experience.\n\nIn truth, Mark writes, we each must face living and dying from the inside of the one life we are given. But we can share the journey, which is the purpose of this book, to be a companion in your effort to enter the fifth season of your life.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1250342422\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1250342422.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Nepo, Mark\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
