Anam Cara

AGING

“Old age can be a time of great liberation and freedom.”

The six-part series “L Plus” was a practical guide to the later years of life. One aspect of those years that needed to be addressed was the onset of old age and ultimately mortality. John had written so positively and poetically in Anam Cara about aging and death that I wished to include him as a contributor to the series. This conversation was recorded in the office of Marriage Relationship and Counseling Services in Dublin, where John had given a talk in April 1998.
