'Casting No Shadow' by Ruth Elizabeth Jenks debunks common myths on time and purpose. This feels especially relevant today! Here's an excerpt: "...neither time nor age has to be a factor in our outlook. No one will deny that when one is all alone there's the temptation to feel doomed by what appears to have cut us off from friends or family or activities or to feel that we no longer have purpose. But most of us think of finding "purpose" as being "a reason for living." That's ridiculous! Having a purpose is having the dedication to one's continuing discovery of his or her innate, ongoing desire to bless ourselves by blessing others."
