"This collection of 55 stories by writers from all over the world shares experiences relating to the many aspects of death, from the known rites and rituals that surround passing to the mysterious and unknown, phenomena that include near-death experiences, visions, and remarkable physical and emotional responses. Differing cultures all over the world find a variety of ways to deal with this most universal of human experiences, and these witnesses relate their observations from every corner. Barbara Kingsolver, Sogyal Rinpoche, Elaine Sosa, Malidoma Patrice Somi, and Dirk Bogarde are just a few of the writers whose experiences are included, sorted into 'Mysteries,' 'Encounters,' 'Rituals,' 'Shadows,' and 'Blessings.' Some are funny, many are mystical, all transcend the boundaries of understanding into the realm of the spiritual. Reading these accounts, one can't help but feel the power and mystery of the infinite and recognize that we have such a lot more to learn."
