Aging is an inevitable part of our life journey. How we approach this inevitability determines whether we experience it as empowering or a sad fading away. Rev. Carol and acclaimed author David Berner delve into the topic of aging and the power that it holds. We discuss the symbolism behind the title of his book Daylight Saving Time, which represents our collective yearning for "one more hour"—another experience, another chance to grow. David's approach to aging is about embracing the vibrancy and purpose that come with each new chapter of life. Drawing from his diverse spiritual journey—Catholicism, atheism, Buddhism, and more—David reminds us that it's okay to be imperfect in our quest for truth. He emphasizes the legacy of influence we leave behind, encouraging us to model meaningful lives for the next generation. This conversation is for all generations as we explore universal themes such as time, breaking patterns, what really matters, regrets, and not missing what life has to offer.
