Fall Fearless Into Love

about

When Cynthia Bourgeault's friend Hank Taft, an avid sailor, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, conversations about their shared uneasiness making passages in the fog - especially in zero-visibility conditions - took on new significance.

In her book, 'The Wisdom Way of Knowing,' Bourgeault recounts how "in those final weeks a change so extraordinary came over Hank that none of us could fail to notice it. As his physical body withered, his soul grew large and luminous. Friends gathered by his bedside could feel the energy of love radiating from him almost as a forcefield. He faced his death with an open heart, utterly trusting and utterly serene.

"Three days before the end, I went for what was to be my last visit...We hugged each other and said farewell. And then his last words to me -- so muffled and unexpected that I did not at first catch them:
'Are you fearless yet?'
'Not yet, Hank,' I said. 'I'm trying.'
'Fall . . . fearless . . . into . . . love.'"
--The Wisdom Way of Knowing, pp. 70-71

Fall fearless into love,
