Busy and deeply absorbed in all the complexity of life, Ruth
Scott's packed diary suddenly had to be cleared when she was
diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. She said, 'Discovering
that life might be shorter than expected or hoped for concentrates
the mind wonderfully. Whatever life is left to me, I do not want to
waste it.' In the final months of her life, in the shadows between
living and dying, she learned to live with the extremes of
treatments that were as aggressive as the disease - and with daily
ups and downs that created constant uncertainty. Throughout it all,
Ruth creatively explored - through insight, literature, poetry and
song - what life is about and how it should be lived. This book is
the result. Here, she cuts through all the things in life that we
waste our energies on. She explores the depth of life in ways that
allow for doubt, absence and uncertainty while also making room for
mystery and understanding beyond rational limitations. As she
reflects on how we relate (or not) to each other, to the
environment and to the 'more-than-me-ness' of life, she offers real
inspiration for us all.
