Transience and death - present every day, yet we tend to suppress this inevitable reality in our daily lives, as it often evokes feelings of oppression, fear, or even horror. This is precisely why this book is immensely valuable, as the author skillfully approaches these topics with great calmness and sensitivity. Selected quotes, poems, stories, and episodes encourage contemplative engagement and help find a natural way to deal with the unchangeable aspects of existence. Death and dying are transpersonal processes within the mystery of being, the message suggests, and there is no reason to fear them. Death can also be the culmination of life. Precious meditations simultaneously open the mind and heart to the wonder of the moment. Highly recommended for caregivers and hospice workers as well.
