I chose not to finish - it was a favorite when I was younger, but there's so much I haven't read that's also wonderful!

It has taken a year and I'm still reading, reflecting and once finished I'll go back to my notes and put together a class for "Wisdom-Agers" Thanks Jen for this book!

"Clear boundaries makes it possible to ask divergent questions and explore seemingly irrelevant possibilities." Change the word "boundaries" to "parameters" (ie 4 ways your life is defined right now - work, family, health etc.) and voila- you have a clear space on which to write any question that comes to mind.

"My life's work ...is the space I occupy in other people's lives" pg73
See why one cannot hurry through this book?
Just before this he references Joseph Campbell's recommendation that we all have a sacred space in our homes, or minds...

Reading this at the same time I'm studying the letters of Peter, James and Jude - So many similarities - bottom line so far - We are each born with a purpose and through (community) and (work) we discover the purpose and passion to use the gifts with and for others.

I'm stuck. The story is nowhere near as captivating as "Middlemarch" and as it's on my e-reader, it's easier to pick up another novel than to turn the screen on. I may not finish.
It wasn't the e-reader. It was the writing. It was written before Middlemarch, so I will forgive a "new novelist" a she develops her skill, but I'm off to something less dense.
