“Welcome to the brink of everything. It takes a lifetime to get here, but the stunning view of past, present, and future—and the bracing breeze in your face—make it worth the trip.”
Eight years after the original release of On the Brink of Everything, Parker J. Palmer is returning to this beloved collection of reflections with an updated edition, offering an invitation to revisit its wisdom and consider what it has to say to us now.
Join Parker in conversation with Kathryn McElveen, Executive Director of the Center for Courage & Renewal for our upcoming Between the Lines Author Series event.
Together, they’ll explore Parker’s reflections on aging, purpose, courage, activism, love, loss, and the ongoing work of becoming more fully ourselves with the passage of time. How might we approach every stage of life as a time for discovery, engagement, and meaningful contribution? How do we stay connected across generational divides? And what might become possible when we meet the future with the openness and wisdom of a life fully lived?
