Last year I attended the first natural burial I had been to. I was little prepared for the effect it had on me, being busy caught up with getting the time off work, not being late and so on. At the end of July it was raining. But the grassy place we gathered only looked the richer for it. Summer rain seemed appropriate as many people stood, and then shuffled a bit as still more arrived, and there were gentle greetings and quiet chat under the umbrellas.
"If you truly want to be led you must put yourself in a position that allows following" (PYM)
Though written within a Quaker and Christian context, this book can be used by anyone of any religious faith or secular inclination. The only requirement is a desire to follow, to be guided by, to align with the richness of the ineffable, which this book calls "the Way". This book seeks nothing less than to aid readers in aligning their lives with the same power and richness that animated the life of Jesus of Nazareth.
