Breathtaking! A book everyone should read. It’s a beautiful, evocative, tense and wild expression of embodiment, what it means to be alive, and in a liminal space. I was in awe and uncomfortable and confronted with my own body. This is a classic which I know is not the authors intention, instead it is to find the power of spirit, to accept our death, our life and be in our truest essence.
