A miraculous window of opportunity

“I hope you sense what a glorious future awaits you in old age. No longer will you dread the evening of life as a time of unremitting suffering and futility, but as an opportunity for continued growth in consciousness and service to humanity. What a vista, what a wonderful adventure, what a miraculous window of opportunity awaits us in old age!”

— Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, 1995
Rabbi, writer, and activist
