What is the new that is wanting to emerge? How can I change? What needs to die? What do the old stories and mythology tell us about where we find ourselves today? What new navigational tools do I need to master?

I have ignored death, flaunted myself infront of death, fantastised about dying, feared my sons might die and that I would not survive AND I have embraced death and looked at it in the eye. I have worked with the aging and dying. I have known many people who have died. I lost my sister in a tragic accident when a rock fell on her head in the Drakensburg mountains. I had the deep honour and privilege of caring for my own mother and being present at her transition in her home. When you are no longer so attached to what you have made up about your identity, when you are confident about who you truly are, then you can experience  life with true joy, peace, happiness and aliveness. I believe this is possible for all of us, whatever our age, background or religious conviction.
