Preface - What matters most. 1 Shock and awe: that life not be governed by fear. 2 Saving the appearances: that we learn to tolerate ambiguity. 3 Starving amid abundance: that we consider feeding the soul. 4 That we respect the power of Eros. 5 That we step into largeness. 6 That we risk growth over security. 7 That we live verbs not nouns. 8 That we find and follow the path of creativity and delight in foolish passions. 9 That we engage spiritual crises and other bad days at the office. 10 That we write our story, lest someone else write it for us. 11 Amor fati: that we fight fate, and love it also. 12 That we live more fully in the shadow of mortality. 12 That we accept at last that our home is our journey, and our journey is our home
'...If we fail to observe, and engage in some form of cogent dialogue with the questions that emerge from our depths, then they, and our ill-considered, provisional answers, will continue to operate autonomously, and we will live an unconscious, unreflective, accidental life. So then...let us reflect together for a while, consider what matters, what really matters, and then, in our wonderfully separate ways, fare forward together.: --Preface
