"Ours is an age that is desperately in need of guides of the inner world. This lovely offering from James Hazelwood seeks to address just this need. With warmth and wit, Hazelwood reminds us that, not only does life continue after midlife, in some crucial ways it really begins. This book is both an invitation and an initiation into the meaning to be found in the second half of life. It is a tour of the often-unexpected places where wisdom can be found during this time taken with a compassionate and trustworthy guide. Jason E. Smith, Jungian Analyst, author of Religious but Not Religious: Living a Symbolic Life, and creator of the Digital Jung podcast. Chapter after chapter in Weird Wisdom, James Hazelwood articulates questions on the page that many hearts carry quietly and alone. Let these pages be your invitation to go willingly and deeply into becoming a wisened elder. With this book as your guide, you can approach the threshold into wonder, enchantment, and the liberating mother tongue of metaphor, and maybe even find yourself at home there. Jennie Isbell Shinn, M.Div., LMT, Spiritual Director and Dreamworker. ""The journey through the second half of life is different than the journey through the first half. Jim Hazelwood offers five helpful footholds for the adventure."" -- Bishop Michael Rinehart, Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast Synod, ELCA Lutheran ""Entering the second half of our lives can toss us into a Dante-like dark wood, where we feel desperate for flickers that show us the way through. In this charming and practical book, James Hazelwood draws us toward candleflames of ""weird wisdom"" that are both welcoming and witty. - Sheri D. Kling, Ph.D., theologian, songwriter, and author of A Process Spirituality: Christian and Transreligious Resources for Transformation. ""Somewhere in their 40's or 50's, many men who've built a successful career and family and life, experience a restlessness and a boredom that is not satisfied using what worked earlier in life. This is a book that maps this new territory and offers much needed skills and tools for the journey."" - Allen Proctor, Director, The Haden Institute"
