2023 International Book Award Winner
How do we age consciously in this time of world transition? What does consciousness mean when death isn’t too far away? In today’s culture, death whispers in euphemisms; we rarely see wise images of aging in mainstream media. Are we sleep-walking in this masquerade called life?
In an evocative collage of memoir and metaphor, story and poetry, written within the framework of the five elements, Air, Fire, Water, Earth, and Spirit, Roz Bound searches through the illusions and traditions of her seventy-five years to create an evolving path forward. Calling on her inner crone’s wisdom and balance, and discovering how the past grounds the present as well as informing the future, she is actually excited about the adventure of growing old! Aging Consciously, Dying Awake inter-weaves the personal and universal. With many life transitions, including that from multinational corporate wife to single parent, Roz writes from rich experience and deep reflection. She shares the value of eldering with grace, accepting change without complacency or platitudes, as she creatively documents an expanding consciousness, compelled to wake up before she dies.
