Patinas of Life

Description

PRESALE ORDERS can be picked up at the book launch at Tarlton Theatre  405 W. Walnut St, Green Bay WI on December 9th.

Like copper that greens in the open air or marble steps polished by centuries of feet, our lives, too, gather a patina. Every scar, every joy, every loss adds a layer-proof that we have not merely existed, but truly lived. This book is an exploration of those human patinas: the weathering of choice, the marks of relationship, the tarnish of grief, the shine of discovery. These reflections invite you to see your own life’s surface not as flawed, but as uniquely beautiful-shaped by time, trial, and transformation. The surface, after all, is just the beginning.

Patrick Wood is the author of Patinas of Life, his fourth literary work following the success of Tapestry of Love and Loss, Dear Reader, and Reflections. A keen observer of the human condition, Patrick draws his philosophical insights form a rich mélange of experiences – extensive travels that have exposed him to diverse cultures and perspectives, encounters with remarkable individuals from all walks of life, and the wisdom that comes from navigating both triumph and adversity.

As CEO of Multi Media Channels (MMC) and a serial entrepreneur, Patrick has had the unique opportunity to connect with an extraordinary array of people, each leaving their mark on his understanding of what it means to live a meaningful life. His writing transcends the boundaries of memoir and philosophy, offering readers profound reflections on the universal experiences that shape us all – love, loss, growth, and the beautiful imperfections that give life its distinctive patina.
