| dc.description.abstract | This qualitative study is an autobiographical reflection on midlife passage. The text is presented as a metaphoric journey through the internal and external landscapes of midlife. The text travels the ground between fact and fiction, reality and imagination. The topic and methodology of this work are inextricably entwined. The writer both lives and writes the topic of midlife, becoming both the subject and the object of the study. Autobiographical narration is the means by which the writer both uncovers and creates the life-stories and mythic structures that inform her journey. The text explores some of the theoretical literature on midlife, with the writer situating herself within the social and cultural context of her time and place. The text then moves toward an exploration of the creative and spiritual potential of the midlife passage. The form of the text reflects the writer's process as she seeks to define her experience of the midlife passage. | |
