This compact volume--a true Soul*Spark--is an ideal gift for elders, as well as for all who are aging.Throughout history most successful and long-lived civilizations have held a place of respect for elders, and have benefited from their life wisdom. Sages are elders who have gracefully accepted the passage of time, integrated their life experience with understanding, and made the fruit of their long experience available to others.But how does one do this? How does one grow wiser as one grows older?By drawing from the wisdom of the ages, Keys for Adept Aging opens up a range of thoughtful pathways for cultivating soul maturity. Invariably, readers will be enriched."As tens of thousands of baby boomers enter their 60's each day, this little gem is a timely addition to books on aging...it makes a great gift for the elders in your life. Highly recommended." - Amazon reader"This book is a real soul-searching piece of writing...this would make a fantastic gift to any older family members." - Lesley Jones for Readers' FavoriteThis book was originally published under the title "Teach Us to Number Our Days," That title suggested a specific religious orientation. As readers shall discover, in this small treasure the keys for adept aging are drawn from many of the world's wisdom traditions. This little book-a Soul*Spark-strives to faithfully acknowledge and embrace that reality. I've been an independent writer since 1975 when I graduated from journalism school at Boston University. Since then I've been happily involved with my life's work writing, and consulting. Over the years I've authored hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles, blog posts, and over a dozen nonfiction books.It's my honor to have served as the author of an epic, nonfiction saga of contemporary America, Odyssey of the 8th Fire. It's freely available online at www.8thfire.net Odyssey of the 8th Fire is the true, epic saga of a historic pilgrimage for the earth across North America by people of all colors and faiths under the Sky Sign of the Whirling Rainbow. The 8th Fire arises from the deepest roots of our land. In it, circles upon circles, elders make a great and generous giveaway of the teachings they carry.The titles I have listed on Smashwords arise out of the Soul*Sparks publishing venture in which I partner with my wife, Elizabeth Wolf.As of 2019, I'm designating Chiron Communications, my umbrella publishing venture, as the publisher for the book I've recently finished writing, "Deep Agroecology: Farms, Food, and Our Future." The eBook version will be available here on Smashwords.Peace and good cheer, Steven
