A reflective, eloquent [and] inspiringly written (The New York Times) collection of essays about learning to live richly in the face of lossAstonishing . . . sometimes heartbreaking . . . sometimes hilarious.The Boston GlobeWINNER OF THE BOOKS FOR A BETTER LIFE AWARDS BEST SPIRITUAL BOOKPhilip Simmons was just thirtyfive years old in 1993 when he learned that he had ALS, or Lou Gehrigs disease, and was told he had less than five years to live. As a young husband and father, and at the start of a promising literary career, he suddenly had to learn the art of dying. Nine years later, he succeeded, against the odds, in learning the art of living. In this surprisingly joyous and spiritrenewing book, he chronicles his search for peace and his deepening relationship with the mystery of everyday life.From our first faltering steps, Simmons says, we may fall into disappointment or grief, fall into or out of love, fall from youth or health. And though we have little choice as to the timing or means of our descent, we may, as he affirms, fall with grace, to grace.With humor, hardearned wisdom, and a keen eye for lifes lessonswhether drawn from great poetry or visits to the town dumpSimmons shares his discovery that even at times of great sorrow we may find profound freedom. And by sharing the wonder of his daily life, he offers us the gift of connecting more deeply and joyously with our own.
