Dandelions Blooming in the Cracks of Sidewalks: Stories from the Bedside of the Dying

So often, the thought of death evokes our worst fears. We anticipate the opposite of anything we call living. Yet, something different happens when we invite death into the conversation. It enters a panoply of experience that includes gratitude, love, joy and wonder. Death reveals these gifts as often as tragedy and pain.

Amita Lhamo uses her luminous stories to reveal the power of simple human kindness and the profundity of being.

Within such places, souls peek through the soft spaces of broken hearts like dandelions blooming in the cracks of sidewalks. No matter which way we turn, we find one garden, one ground—we discover the wonder of any heart.

What dies was never really ours to keep anyway. What is deathless has been our true nature all along. No one can ever separate us from that—it is we who forget about it. At any moment, in any circumstance, there can be a remembering, a glimpse, a realization. These precious stories tell of such moments on the journey, told by one with an unbound love and courage to have accompanied so many on their way. Lama Drimed Norbu
