    y separately published work icon All the Way Home : Aging in Haiku Robert Epstein (editor), Virginia : Middle Island Press , 2019 23398079 2019 anthology poetry 'The Buddha taught that everything is impermanent; that is, all things arise and pass away. If this is a holy truth––beyond religious belief systems––then each of us must find a way to make peace with the fact that we age, we grow old. Trying to resist or deny the existential reality of bodily change will only lead to suffering, if not despair; we might call it a form of senior bypassing. To embrace the changes both big and small is the fine art of living fully. There is as much cause for celebration as for lament: Beyond the changes and losses, many will observe an abundance of wisdom, courage, integrity, compassion, creativity and love. Join with the poets from around the world in these pages as they grapple poignantly and movingly with the realities of aging. Whatever your age, you are likely to find yourself both inspired and uplifted, maybe even transformed.' (Publication summary)
