We all get older as time goes by; aging is inevitable. On the journey we will face challenges, sorrow and loneliness, but we will also experience happiness, find love and live out the different joys of youth, adulthood and old age

In Dancing with Time, José Maria Rodríguez writes of the journey from youth to maturity. Taken together the stages of life can be understood as a dance with time. By listening to the music and following our feet, we can learn to live in harmony with others, deal with failure and talk to our past and future selves.

Drawing on Ignatian spirituality, Oliazola offers an antidote to today’s polarised, youth-obsessed culture. He shows us how to embrace our own unique life story, endure the challenges that confront us on the way, learn to dialogue with others and most of all never stop dancing with ourselves, the world, and God. Time is music. Life is the dance.
