At age 50, Bill Magill walked away from a high-profile investment career and a lifetime of accumulated stuff and relocated to Provence, France. He was in search of a simpler, deeper, more authentic life, ... one full of passion and a richer sense of purpose. Writing became part daily structure, part self-therapy, and laid the foundation for a collection of essays - postcards - on bewilderment at midlife and the search for what truly matters.

These ramblings are meant to inspire and provoke fellow travelers also unsettled with the big questions in life – what we do, where we live, and whom we love – and rally the pursuit of grand ambitions of deep personal meaning, simple as that. What we owe our children and partners and careers, and ourselves. Why to tumble recklessly in love again (the merits of madness), ... and how to mend that broken heart. The zen of now, power of rituals, and the art of pairing music with a really good cocktail.

These Postcards from a a Runaway are less about offering all the answers and more about asking the right questions, ... and this can lead to beautifully dangerous considerations. Ready for a bit of danger? Onward!
