Waiting for the Last Bus
Waiting for the Last Bus: Reflections on Life and Death | Richard Holloway
5 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
Where do we go when we die? Or is there nowhere to go? Is death something we can do or is it just something that happens to us? Now in his ninth decade, former Bishop of Edinburgh Richard Holloway has spent a lifetime at the bedsides of the dying, guiding countless men and women towards peaceful deaths. In The Last Bus, he presents a positive, meditative and profound exploration of the many important lessons we can learn from death: facing up to the limitations of our bodies as they falter, reflecting on our failings, and forgiving ourselves and others. But in a modern world increasingly wary of acknowledging mortality, The Last Bus is also a stirring plea to reacquaint ourselves with death. Facing and welcoming death gives us the chance to think about not only the meaning of our own life, but of life itself; and can mean the difference between ordinary sorrow and unbearable regret at the end. Radical, joyful and moving, The Last Bus is an invitation to reconsider life's greatest mystery by one of the most important and beloved religious leaders of our time.

I can honestly say, I feel a little more at peace having read his book. Richard Holloway is a wise, thoughtful, intelligent man and open minded, which given his life I had not expected. So many of the lines in this book have resonated with me on a personal level and it has made me realise that I can‘t change the cards I have been dealt, so I must appreciate what I have, whilst I have it. I feel this book would be a genuine comfort to all ❤️

🐝 A beautiful old town house with lots of character

🐝 An Aloe Vera plant that‘s in desperate need of re-potting.

🐝 I like to consider books as art ❤️

🐝 Get things done and then use all the time left to read.

🐝 Hoovering. Always hoovering.

Ke633 I hate hoovering, too. Luckily the home I currently have is almost all hardwood floors so just a few rugs to do. 6y

Ursula K. Le Guin referenced this book as an inspiration for her essays and blog posts that became No Time To Spare. Holloway is a former Bishop in the Scottish Episcopal Church, and he shares a lifetime of wisdom regarding death and grief. He brings a certain pragmatic intellectualism to his religious beliefs. And a lot of poetry! Really loved this book and highly recommend it!! 🚌
