Hello! I’m delighted to announce the September edition of Fierce with Age, is posted now at www.FierceWithAge.com and going out to subscribers Wednesday a.m. to your inbox.
Many of you ask which of the entries is my favorite. While it’s always tough to decide, I love the simplicity of Richard Rohr’s “only final question worth asking.” I live a lot of my life in the grey (and not just grey hair, mind you…) so it’s nice to resonate with something ultimate and definitive, (even if I change my mind tomorrow:)
Enjoy the whole edition at the link below, if you haven’t already subscribed. (And given that it’s free, and will never be sold or advertised to, why not?)
Best,
Carol Orsborn
The Only Final Question Worth Asking
“By the second half of life, you learn to tell the difference between who you really are and how others can mirror that or not. This will keep you from taking either insults or praise too seriously. I doubt whether this kind of calm discrimination and detachment is much possible before your midfifties at the earliest. How desperately we need true elders in our world to clean up our seeing and stop the revolving hall of mirrors in its tracks.
We all take what we need, get what we want, and reject what we shouldn’t from one another. Don’t accept your first response at face value. The only final and meaningful question is ‘Is it true?’”
Richard Rohr, “Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life”.
