Why Birds Sing at Dawn: Embracing Death and Change as Transformation - Paperback

"Why Birds Sing at Dawn" speaks to the heart and mind during times of loss, change, and death. Julie Hightman shares her personal journey as a witness, caregiver, empathic translator, and ceremonial leader over a period of nine years filled with many waves of death and life change. Within these pages one discovers and refines contemplation on the alchemical power that death and change summon from the core of self-perception while inviting the reader to cultivate and honor transformation as a continual process throughout life. "Why Birds Sing at Dawn" brings us closer to the mysterious essence of life and death. It reveals ways to reflect in and embrace the creative capacity we each carry to grow and manifest beyond experiential grief of real or metaphorical death.
