Running to the Mountain: A Midlife Adventure

A perfect book for the first day of a new year. This year my husband and I will both turn fifty and our youngest child will leave home for college. I have a lot in common with Katz.

My favorite quote:

“I am not nearly as afraid of dying as I am of the hinges inside my mind and soul rusting closed. I am desperate to keep them open, because I think that if they close, that's one's first death, the loss of hope, curiousity, and possibility, the spiritual death. After that, it seems to me, the second one is just a formality.”
