“What if, instead of being afraid of even talking about death, we saw our lives in some ways as preparation for it. What if we were taught to ponder it and reflect on it and talk about it and enter it and rehearse it and try it on?What if, rather than being cast out and defined by some terminal category, you were identified as someone in the middle of a transformation that could deepen your soul, open your heart, and all the while-even if and particularly when you were dying-you would be supported by and be part of a community?” IfsWayTryingHeartSoulWould BeCommunityTalkingSawsOur LivesMiddleDyingTaughtTransformationCastsDefinedPreparationYour SoulWhat IfCategoriesPonderingBeing AfraidOpen Your HeartTerminalIfs And Author:Eve Ensler
