Last Light Of The Burning Candle
Nirbal has pioneered a movement through his poetic prose.
Art, literature, and tradition usually reflect and emphasize the most negative aspects of aging. Physical and mental decline are represented as two main elements of growing older and as a culture we’ve been programmed to accept this as truth.
Nirbal contends that modern-day seniors are being misrepresented. Seniors invent new ideas and are active in all of the pleasures that life holds including love, sex, and a voracious and zestful appetite for life!
His narration cites examples of how when seniors are forced to retire, it inevitably lowers their self-worth. He urges a return to old-fashioned family values from selfish individualism. His poems beautifully interweave Hindu traditions with modern ideals.
Comparing aging with the beauty of autumn, Nirbal sees fall’s flamboyant colors and crisp, clean air as metaphors for the elderly. In his words: “Old age is not a curse, but nature’s boon reserved for selected ones.”
Reject the metaphors that demean those over 50 and embrace the idea of seniors facing the future with intelligence, grace and wisdom. This revolutionary book is a landmark poetic masterpiece that dares to celebrate the wisdom and grace of our elders.
