Thank you Ruth
Maggie Kuhn had it right. One of the reasons I love this work is that I feel the well spring of potential in the Genertarian group that is just waiting to be released. I believe we have an an opportunity once again to change the world as we did in the “60’s

Thank you for your comment and suggestion Tom. I think we can use “the end insight” as a way of helping to discern next steps. It does add a heightened sense of commitment to our 30 year bonus. What legacy do I want to leave..for my family, community and the world? These are questions I ask myself on a regular basis. I didn’t have this kind of awareness in my 2nd Act.

Hi Patricia
Lovely article in The 3rd Act newsletter. Speaking of “a conscious embrace of death”…I imagine you’re aware of the Year to Live groups, based on Stephen Levine’s book? In case your not here’s the link. http://www.livingmindfullynow.com.
Cheers

Ann Marie…I like your idea of both looking to role models and being role models. That is one way we can support each other. I find it is so important to be open to alternate ways of being at this stage in life…and looking to others as role models gives me ideas. One of the participants in The 3rd Act workshop has signed up for the Peace Corps and I find myself thinking maybe I would like to do that or offer some other kind of service in another country.

Very nice piece that covers a lot of “territory”.
