Reflecting on impermanence, Jack explains that despite our physical frailty our spirit can never truly die.

Where can we go when we die? Jack explores the recycling of energy, our limitlessness beyond death, and how death enables us to live more presently.

“There’s this amazing thing with death that there is both less of someone and yet more of them. There’s some way in which you can walk in the woods and they are there to speak to. Being with death slows us down, it softens us, it makes us more gracious.”   — Jack Kornfield
