April 2018 Newsletter

“Aging brings out the flavors of a personality. The individual emerges over time, the way fruit matures and ripens. In the Renaissance view, depression, aging, and individuality all go together: the sadness of growing old is part of becoming an individual. Melancholy thoughts carve out an interior space where wisdom can take up residence.

― Thomas Moore, Care of the Soul: Guide for Cultivating Depth and Sacredness in Everyday Life
