Quotes from the Edge of Nowhere

Book excerpt: Quotes from the Edge of Nowhere: The Art of Noticing Unnoticed Wisdom By: Gary Lewis LeRoy, MD. This book is about a twenty- to forty-year life journey. It recounts ten randomly selected personal quotes, saved in a cookie jar, and creates a life-learning narrative using the origin of the quote. Each story evolves by looking back at the signposts and hints of wisdom sprinkled along the author’s life path. Many of these events whispered subtle quotes of wisdom to his conscience. It was up to the author to make sense of them or proceed on life’s path, having missed an opportunity to obtain wisdom. All of us are on a similar journey cluttered with obstacles of the human condition. It is the author’s desire that this little book of hope and inspiration will serve as a torchlight to illuminate the way on the reader’s journey toward a more joyful life—one filled with knowledge, truth, and wisdom.
