About this ebook
As winging through fog
fear vanished in the bright light
of morning’s true sky
The aging process can be a confusing time that leads many of us to wonder about the meaning and purpose of our existence as we move forward into later-life. The good news is that there is hope in learning how to simply be while living fully.
In a collection of original songs, poems, and intentions, Jerry O’Neill invites us to contemplate and sing along while seeking to grow truly alive with wisdom and grace. Throughout his writings, O’Neill encourages us to be mindful of God, absorbing sacred wisdom in God’s word and from nature, open to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, and to ultimately become enlivened to embrace purposeful, joy-filled living.
Better savored than simply read, Called to be Alive! shares songs, verse, and intentions that awaken us to a blessed life lived with joy and purpose.
“... O’Neill’s beautiful collection of original poetry, lyrics, and affirmations is a gift to all committed to being truly alive and growing into the fullness of a conscious elderhood ...”
—Ron Pevny, author of Conscious Living, Conscious Aging
