We all sit on the edge of a mystery. We have only known this life, so dying scares us―and we are all dying. But what if dying were perfectly safe? What if you could approach dying with curiosity and love? What if dying were the ultimate spiritual practice? Walking Each Other Home: Conversations on Loving and Dying reunites lifelong friends Ram Dass and Mirabai Bush, who speak on the spiritual opportunities in the dying process. They share intimate personal experiences and timeless practices for every aspect of this journey. In this unabridged audiobook, join these teachers as they explore what it means to live and die consciously, remember who we really are, and illuminate the path we walk together. Narrated by Mirabai Bush, with a preface read by Ram Dass. Archival recording of Ram Dass © Love Serve Remember Foundation. Archival recording of John O’Donohue from To Bless the Space Between Us (AW01197D). “By confronting the idea that death is a mysterious and fearful conclusion to life, Dass and Bush encourage readers to enter the depths of their fears about dying and mortality in order to create more solace in their lives.” ―Publishers Weekly “The man who, forty years ago, asked us to show up for our lives is now asking us to show up for our deaths . . . As he moves closer to his own death, he continues to filter all of life’s experiences through the lens of love. He and [coauthor] Mirabai Bush apply that lens to being with the dying, grieving, facing death, and recognizing death as spiritual practice. There is a very personal quality to this book. It is a comforting conversation which highlights another landmark in Ram Dass’ life.” ―Anna Jedrziewski, Retailing Insight “I am going to give everyone I know a copy of Walking Each Other Home. This book, this experience, this path of confronting our fear of death, will radically improve their lives, open them to love and presence and joy. Ram Dass and Mirabai Bush show us―beautifully, deeply, and with such humor―how profound and magical our lives can be as we become less and less afraid of death. I love Ram Dass more than I can say, but at least I can manage to say, ‘Thank you, thank you, my brother, my teacher, my buddy, for your company as I make my way home.’” ―Anne Lamott, author of Hallelujah Anyway and Traveling Mercies “A raw diamond of a book. An invitation into love. Of course, it is a how-to manual for dying (and therefore living) and for being with the dying. It is Ram Dass and Mirabai Bush’s generous offering to walk us home. But beyond these things, it is an invitation to sit in Ram Dass’s presence as he is now. To breathe in the Grace that blows through the Maui air, and that Ram Dass’s current state makes space for. If you’ve ever had the thought that you wish you could sit with Ram Dass, or your own teacher, reading this book is your chance.” ―Helen Hunt, actress, director, and screenwriter “Like beautiful music, you can hear Ram Dass’s wisdom and heart full of love and Mirabai’s deep harmony.” ―Joan Baez, musician and activist “As Time moves through us, wearing out our bodies, it becomes more and more important to turn more deeply within and find the Timeless One in the heart. Ram Dass and Mirabai Bush point out the beauty and love to be found in living with loving awareness of the inevitable dissolution of the physical body.” ―Krishna Das, singer of Kirtan Wallah “Drawing on deep personal experience, as well as the spiritual teachings of Asia, Mirabai Bush and Ram Dass share with us their intimate dialogue concerning death and dying. We learn to differentiate between the impermanent ego and the enduring soul, and how to shift our attention from intellect to loving awareness. In doing so, our fears of loss of body and self are replaced by an awareness of infinite interconnectedness and the reality of soul. This universal theme is approached with great sensitivity and insight, all of which is carried on the wings of a lifelong friendship between these two remarkable human beings. Readers will thank them for their generosity and wisdom.” ―Arthur Zajonc, physicist and author of Meditation as Contemplative Inquiry “Walking Each Other Home is an amazing book on the art of living, loving, and dying by two amazing spirits. A much needed teaching for living in this age of accelerated change and anxiety.” ―George Mumford, author of The Mindful Athlete “In Walking Each Other Home, we are invited into Ram Dass’s home; we are welcomed guests listening to an ongoing conversation he is having with his dear friend Mirabai Bush. It is a conversation about coming home to our souls, a journey of loving and fearing and learning and laughing and forgiving and mourning and remembering, of sharing and giving and dying and living on and on. This book, full of wisdom and blessings, is a rare gift you will want to share with the people you love.” ―Rabbi Naomi Levy, spiritual leader of Nashuva; author of Einstein and the Rabbi “My wife Girija and I foll
