Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you for these words and this message. I feel it in my bones.
Last year I arrived upon a car accident that brought death, and while I stood there speaking to the soul of the woman as she transitioned it was also ever apparent how different it could have been if the 5 people working in desperation to keep her here stayed present with the truth, sat in reverence at her side as she crossed the threshold and anchored into the peace that can be present in the chaos.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience. It is indeed such potent medicine if someone is able to sit in the presence of truth - that the threshold is being crossed and that it is asking for reverence. Can’t wait to gather with you around these portals soon 🖤
This is so important in our reality now. Sitting with death, our own and that of others is taboo. There is a quote, I am sure you are familiar, that I think of often when the death phobia finds it's way back to me. Ram Dass said "Dying is absolutely safe." I think that over and over again, it is not necessary to fear it but to face it like any other inevitability of our one, beautiful existence. Thank you
thank you for your wisdom, always. things have shifted for me a lot having a partner with terminal cancer. it's just so.....present and normal for us now. (and Peter was also one of the 'healthy' ones, with the exception of his time in prison (when the cancer likely started) and some precarious squatter days. even as a poor person in Catalunya though he prioritized eating really well).

Thank you for this -my students just watched Going Home this week and got to see his perspective on dying. I always think about that quote too ❤️
