The Art Form in Dying

It's the attraction and aversion that keep you
holding to form. The more you are aware of
the spiritual nature of life, the more you see
the moment of death as release or taking off
the tight shoe. And the art form in dying is that,
at the moment of death, you are neither grabbing
at life nor pushing it away. You are neither
pushing nor pulling. So to prepare for
the moment of death, know that the processes
that go on in consciousness are a dissolving
of boundaries.
