It’s time to retire, time to downsize, time to slow down and exit stage left. Does this mean becoming invisible, putting on the slippers and settling down in the rocking chair? Or is it perhaps the time to embrace the most fulfilling challenge of all - to mature inwardly into our wisdom years? This book by best-selling spirituality writer Margaret Silf explores some of the invitations that await us in these wisdom years – the harder things, like learning the art of slowing down and letting go, increasingly aware of our own mortality – and the joyful surprises, as our perspective changes and we glimpse more clearly the possibilities that the longer view reveals and the unexpected gifts that winter brings. It invites you to discover, and celebrate, your own wisdom years.
