As John Henry Clark notes in his book, Dying, as we get older we start to think about our own mortality. Those thoughts become even stronger as our parents age. It's usually around this time we realize that time is no longer on our side, and if we really want to know more about our parents and the legacy they want to leave, we need to talk to them. Now.
That's exactly what Clark decided to do. Now in his fifties - with his father in his seventies - he sets out to record his father's memories and his conversations with him and to put them into this touching slice-of-life memoir.

It begins innocently enough. You find yourself drinking more than you used to. Or you're watching too much tv, rarely exercising, or eating things that make you feel sick. You know you've gotten yourself into a bad habit, but you also feel powerless to change. "It's too late now," you think. "I'm too old too fat, too far gone]." You're stuck-trapped in a pattern you know is unhealthy, feeling like there's no way out. But what if you're wrong?

How often do you think, "Today's going to be a great day" or "I'm so lucky to be alive"? Would you like to think these things more often? What sets us apart from all other living creatures is the ability to think and use thought to form decisions, ideas, strategies, and actions. However, this same "power" can also work against us in the form of small thinking, negativity, depression, or distress. What we see is what we get. How we think is what determines our reality.

Traveling overseas and backpacking around Europe seemed like an out-of-reach dream for John Clark, until he learned of the Camino de Santiago in Spain, a 500-mile pilgrimage across the country that dates back more than 1,200 years. With encouragement from family and friends, never having traveled outside the United States, the self-proclaimed homebody from Texas hopped on a plane at age 53 alone and headed for the Iberian Peninsula. It wasn't just the beginning of a month-long journey, but also, as he would discover, the beginning of a new life.
Facing fear, regret...

Are you looking for more meaning in your life? Are you tired of just getting through each day instead of feeling a sense of purpose and direction? Sometimes the answer to a question is best explored in reverse. In order to find more purpose in life, perhaps we need to go to the end-death-and work backwards from there. Is it possible that contemplating death can lead to more meaning in life?

Are you depressed? Feeling more than sad? Hopeless and helpless? Struggling to get through the day; thinking no one understands how you feel? Well, the good news is that you are not alone. Not at all. As many as 350 million people worldwide are affected by what the World Health Organization calls "the leading cause of disability worldwide," and "a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease."

Depression is more common than many people are aware, and homosexuals are often at a higher risk than the rest of the population of suffering from this debilitating and sometimes life-threatening condition. Major depression is said to be the second-leading cause of premature death - accounting for between twenty and thirty-five percent of all suicides every year - and the leading cause of disability worldwide. Statistics show that more than 120 million people are affected, and depression is responsible for a staggering 850,000 deaths every year.
