Comments on: as dead as I can ever get http://www.howspiritworks.com/archives/252 “If you’re never going to die, you don’t need this book” Thu, 22 Dec 2011 01:25:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Gretchen http://www.howspiritworks.com/archives/252/comment-page-1#comment-127 Gretchen Tue, 31 Aug 2010 03:14:35 +0000 http://www.howspiritworks.com/?p=252#comment-127 Dear Peggy, It means so much to me that someone as accomplished as yourself tells me I contribute to your thoughts. I'm sure your compassion and genius will be evident in your illustrations, congratulations! May this new book be as fulfilling to you as your other work has been. You may feel the interest of ones in spirit when you are drawing. The subject of your next book touches me personally. My step grand daughters body now more reflects the gender he feels himself to be; Madeleine is now Matt. It is a challenging journey for him. My yoga teacher said that we have a light body that is the opposite of our apparent gender, that we are all both genders. I don't know how I feel about that concept yet. nonetheless- Thanks again for your kind words about my September letter. with gratitude, Gretchen Dear Peggy,

You are very articulate about the subject of death and the other side. My idea of karma, however, is that we have experienced this kind of dimension many times. I have been awarded a chance to do an Atlas of Transgender Surgeries as the illustrator and co-editor. It only took Springer Publishers two days to accept my proposal. I think of all those transgender folks who ended their lives before these surgeries became available in the 1960's. They say that 50% committed suicide. I bet they had some 'pull' in this project and were in the boardroom when my book idea came up! Thank you for continuing your work. I am very interested in what you have to say.
