On the Path with Kissiah Young
Welcome to On The Path!
In this space we explore some of the most tender and painful aspects of life, which happens to also be some of the most meaningful. We explore death and dying, grief and loss, and how we hold all of this. This is a space of vulnerability and healing, of repair and reconciliation. We grow here.

Part Three of The Nine Contemplations: Death Will Come
Death is inevitable and will arrive when it arrives. It needs neither invitation nor permission to enter when it knocks. Death has access to our lives whether we desire it or not, are prepared or not, and it requires nothing of us in order to reveal itself. The reality of this brings us to the question, what does it mean to prepare for death?
Death will indeed come, whether or not we are prepared.
Holding this thought in mind, I enter fully into the body of life.
