Product Description:
This is a beginner's guide to contemplation for anyone in the second half of life. It's also a love story. Elizabeth and Robert first met as children but reconnected in their sixties when they learned that each was on a late-life journey of self-discovery and spiritual adventure. In Autumn Years they describe the practice of contemplation as part of a strategy of successful aging. Recognizing that there is no single contemplative path, and that individuals come to contemplation with different strengths and interests, the Kings provide a simple, reader-friendly guide to a number of contemplative practices: sitting meditation, centering prayer, walking meditation, and loving-kindness meditation. They describe other meditative practices as well: yoga, lectio divina, koan study, music meditation, dream work, and even travel as pilgrimage. But uniquely perhaps, they show how contemplation can foster intimacy. Among the fruits of contemplation for those in the second half of life are inclusive faith, life review, leaving a legacy, living with mystery, and endless exploration.

So nice to come across a book that inspires and informs in this way. The personal examples were especially helpful to me and I'll be recommending this book to certain of my clients who will surely benefit from its wisdom. Well done and worth reading. Pamela D.

If you are like me, you've often wondered where you could find someone wise who could shed light on this journey called life. You'd like to know someone who could help you along in this world so full of pain and joy, heartache and wonder, beauty and mystery and violence.
Perhaps such wisdom can only be found in the later years of life. Perhaps a lifetime's experiences need to be harvested before one can recognize wisdom. Whatever the constellation that brings wisdom about and causes ... Read More

AUTUMN YEARS: TAKING THE CONTEMPLATIVE PATH by Robert H. and Elizabeth M. King is a treasure of a read! The book is an easy and thoughtful combination of autobiographical, spiritual and practical ways of looking at aging. By reading the chapters they had written alternately, I felt as if I had tuned into an intimate conversation between Robert and Elizabeth. They talk of their individual transitions down through the years and how they now work together to deepen their spiritual path as a couple ... Read More

The book, AUTUMN YEARS, by the Kings is a keeper. In my practice, as a psychotherapist. I see more often people who are at retirement age and would like to withdraw from their work. Then they ask, "Retire to what?" The Kings suggest the most important journey of all could be taken at this time, the journey is within, to know ourselves. The Kings give us road maps for the journey. This inward journey is one that we are never too young or too old to start.
