My partner, Angela Chiarenza, is the person who has lived every bit of this journey with me.

She has cared for me and for my loved ones. As a steadfast guide, she has taught me that quiet, steady support is undying; and that it makes a difference in life and in death.

In this conversation we talk about what is spoken and unspoken. She shares about our “grand experiment” and our finding a new rhythm. It’s about being all-in, evolving, and letting those around you evolve; acknowledging and moving along.

She gives me the space to make new meaning and helps me navigate a new way of being.

Getting intimate with death, that’s how we cultivate who we are. 

My quest continues.
