A Canadian documentary team led by Stephen Herman and Evelyn Neuman is coming to Spokane to interview Michael Gurian on the stages of aging. The documentary is in part inspired by Michael’s book The Wonder of Aging. The filming coincides with summer beginning to wane into autumn.
In celebration of both the upcoming season and the documentary filming, “The Gift of Age” is Michael’s latest lyrical installment in his Story of a Man series.
The Gift of Age
At a certain point of your wandering life
you realize you have grown wise enough
to waste no more time being controlled.
How wonderful to end your days of envy!
But beware: now you will receive the gift of age,
A time of joy lit up by one quiet and final fear.
