Contemplating The Opening At The Close Of Life

Jo-an Glasse On Death and Dying

Dear God/ess, As I continued to contemplate the passing of our friend today, the Reverend Jo-an Glasse, I realized that Joan Adams and I had Jo-an on our radio show 9/28/10. Soon after, Joan decided to leave the show the beginning of 2011.

The topic of that show was "Death, Dying and Rebirth." I had not taken the time to hear that show again-- until today.

The replay of that show is at the top of today's post.

The first thing that caught me by surprise was Jo-an's larger than life laugh. Then I was taken by the expanded nature of the conversation.

I know that the subject matter of that show laid down the brick and mortar for the days and weeks ahead, as Jo-an suddenly fell ill and faced her own mortality.

Jo-an helps me face my own mortality, as I listen to her words.

Joan Adams wrote to me today after hearing the show again, and was blown away, as well. That show perfectly describes our philosophy of what it means to live, grow and flow into the opening at the close of our lives.

Another eye opening revelation came today when I realized that Jo-an's voice was not recorded widely, if at all. Naturally, those who were married by her or had a funeral done by her may have video-ed those occasions, but they are in private hands.

So this radio show is possibly the only public interview we have of Jo-an. I was divinely guided to have her on the show. Blog Talk Radio did the rest.

What a miracle.

Om Peace Amen
