A novelist and senior professor of Asian religions accustomed to vigorous health receives a terminal diagnosis in the winter, and by summer, his cancer has run its course. In the time between, he reflects on his impending death and revisits with fresh eyes the teachings and practices he has spent a lifetime pursuing. In this, his last book, readers can join C. W. "Sandy" Huntington on his journey of traversing the gap between knowledge and true wisdom. "In only a few months the gestalt has shifted, and after a lifetime of study and practice of Buddhism I am only now learning, here in this prison of necessity, to release my grip on life and so to love it as it is in all its beauty and horror, to slip away into the arms of those infinite others, sentient and insentient, who have nourished and sustained me throughout this long journey home."
