Meditations on spirit, religion, human nature, relationships,
ethics, morals, society, and much more by a woman far ahead of her
time Mary Hamilton Caskie was born in 1863 and died in 1958 at the
age of 94. Highly educated and from families prominent in Virginia
and North Carolina, she spent years on Indian reservations in South
Dakota and Arizona as the wife of a government physician. This life
proved too much for her and she left her alcoholic husband,
returned to the East with her three sons, attended Johns Hopkins
University, and dedicated herself to scholarly pursuits and her own
spiritual evolution. Her insights into human nature and human
society are profound and often provocative, and her beliefs and
attitudes incredibly progressive for a woman born in the South
during the Civil War. At the age of 80, she remarked: "I belong to
the 'old age' - though my ideas are in line with the 'new age'."
"The Stewardship" is a remarkable glimpse into the mind of a
remarkable woman. Written in the 1930s when she was in her
seventies, it contains countless gems of wisdom and advice for
living in the world and in one's own self. In some ways the world
has changed a great deal since "The Stewardship" was written - and
often as she expected it would. In others ways, things remain the
same and always will, for human nature changes slowly if at all.
Few "self-help" advisers of today have the experience, depth of
understanding, and spiritual insight attained by this woman, whose
thoughts were ahead of her time and whose aphorisms are invaluable
guides for the journey of life.
