Produktbeschreibung

So often, the thought of death evokes our worst fears. We anticipate the oppositeof anything we call living. Yet, something different happens when we invite deathinto the conversation. It enters a panoply of experience that includes gratitude,love, joy and wonder. Death reveals these gifts as often as tragedy and pain. By thebedside of the dying, we learn an intimacy that includes the entirety of the humanexperience. We open rather than fight or run. We gaze into the eyes of death to askwhat shines through all the brokenness. What remains? Amita Lhamo uses her luminousstories to reveal the power of simple human kindness and the profundity of being.Within such places, souls peek through the soft spaces of broken hearts likedandelions blooming in the cracks of sidewalks. No matter which way we turn, we findone garden, one ground-we discover the wonder of any heart. "Accompanying her onthese end-of-life journeys, we find unexpected moments of joy. We feel a little lessafraid of our own deaths as well." - From the Foreward by Chagdud Khadro
