In reading her journal of the path around Mt. Kailash and her introspections
following in the Epilogue and Lessons and Changes, I begin to grasp what
it truly means to live and die in the arms of love - naked love - devoid of
all the delusions we wrap ourselves in every day. Regardless of one's spiritual
intentions or path, this story off ers the reader a mirror for the hard work of
learning to receive oneself in love so that we may hold others, all the planet,
in love. It is necessary work for this time on the planet. After all, "All there is is
love... And the love is endless."
