This is a book for everyone who has encountered what the author
calls "deep-end experiences . . . challenges that cloud our outlook
like the veiled gravity of deep water." Retirement was like that
for journalist Jane Flink. She was addicted to the adrenalin rush
of her 30-year career as reporter, photographer and editor, and as
owner and publisher of a weekly newspaper. In 2001, in response to
the incursions of "relentless time," Flink and her husband, Dick,
sold their newspaper and retired to a lake house in central
Missouri. In her home office each week, Flink writes newspaper
columns as she has for 20 years, employing wisdom, humor and a
wealth of knowledge to seek identity in the unstructured world of
retirement. "If work is a complement to the well-lived life and the
ticket to expectation," she writes, "what is retirement -- a
rocking chair, or an invitation to self-starters?" This collection
of essays was written between 2003 and 2006. Finding the
contemplative life elusive, the author explores the comforting
realities of everyday existence, the mysteries of creative vision,
and the treasures that spring from unexplored territory. Page by
page, Jane Flink leads her readers with gentle artistry toward the
charting of their own unmarked trails.
