The richest light of all
“Late light, photographers tell us, is the richest light of all. In the hour before the sun sets, it imbues the landscape with depth and warmth. This is a dynamic and fleeting time. So too, in the last years of your life, your inner light begins to shift. New wavelengths prevail, slower and more beautiful. You can approach your life with greater clarity and tenderness.
If you let divine Light in, your later years can open you to love’s mature fullness. You can make your peace with old issues and draw people close. This can be a time for accelerated growth of spirit, and your experience can light the way for others.”
— Patricia M. Nesbitt and Kristin Camitta Zimet, 2024
Quaker medical professionals and cancer survivors
