From a writer, editor, and publisher in his eighth decade, Vesper Time addresses the yearning among elders for continued growth, expansiveness of heart, improvement of mind, and a meaningful understanding of our lives. As with Christianity's age-old practice of Vespers, or evening prayer, observed at the time of the lighting of the lamps just before darkness descends, Frank Cunningham views it is a time of life, when colors deepen and our experience of aging becomes spiritual practice. With humor and wisdom, he looks at five facets of this integral spirituality--memory, intimacy, diminishment, gratitude, and acceptance--offering guidance and encouragement for those who are on this stage in their journey of life.
