I would like to share with you some of my reflections on, among other things, old age, sickness, and death, and would look forward to learn of your own thoughts. My just-published autobiography includes reflections on the death of my wife Mary after our 35
years together, and the deaths of my parents, and parents-in-law. Each one has its own meaning and lessons. Click below:</div>

The book is also full of stories of global service to the "least, the lost, and the last" and to Those Who Care, when I was with the EI/ICA, UNDP, and NYU, and shares some of my reflections on commitment, joy, and sorrow, as I try to be of service to people
and planet. It also contains my vision of what is needed at this critical moment in history and how we can participate in bending history.</div>
