Within these 73 Life Lessons of ordinary events and relationships since the 1930's will be found the unique experiences of Paul Seltzer. Here, the human spirit of curiosity, wonder and spontaneous delight are tested and flourish. There are dark nights and bright dawns that spark ruminations about life and humanity. With clarity, humor, and poignancy, these original life stories provide a vehicle to let us live into the gamut of our own humanity. From a child's delight in spinning Ivory soap into a tub full of suds, to an adult diving into a mountain of leaves; from the shock at the mysteries of death as a youngster squeezes life out of a guinea pig, to an oldster reflecting on the devastation of a tornado. In this array of tales, we come to see the forces at work in our own minds and what we can do about them. We see love and heartbreak with their consequences. There is chaos and serenity. There are values and choices. There are surprises and sameness. There is determination and resilience. There is the craziness and comic lacing it all. In exploring Life Lessons we understand that in our ordinariness we sense a higher purpose and universality. It is not about the fringe or the edges, but about us now.
