Heard this commentary about Shambhala Mountain Center's open air crematorium on NPR on the way home. His description of watching the body burn made me wonder what I would feel watching it. I have long been afraid of the dead, of dead bodies, of hard evidence of pain and death.

Thank you for the link. The dead, the dying, and the rituals surrounding death, are all issues very near and dear to my heart at the moment. It was beautiful to hear about how other communities proceed - even from an outsider's perspective.
Siona,
You are welcome. I am trying to incorporate this side of life more into my awareness too. It is not easy for me.
