The Calling of the Hero Passing through the valley of illusionEncountering the many masks of mayaInvitations to take up abodeBut we decline - we must go higher On the mountainside the voice of doubtSays "Do not try - it is much too steep"But ever upwards we must goWe have an appointment with destiny to keep Arriving at last on the mountaintopA place where the earth can touch the skyWhat seemed like an end is really a beginningThere are others to help - it is time to fly

Mightier than the Sword An angel whispered in my ear She said "Write down what you are about to hear" I replied "I do not have a pen" She said "Well go and find one then" All I could find was a bottle of ink And then the the angel paused to think Now whenever I write it is always a thrill For an angel's feather is my quill

Often regarded as one of life¿s few certainties, death is both instantly familiar to us and deeply mysterious. Death is everywhere, yet few of us take the time to consider its significance in shaping human lives. This book addresses the difficult, complex, sensitive subject of death from a unique point of view. Drawing on insights from philosophers across the ages, the authors argue that death is a matter of profound educational importance. Paying particular attention to thinkers in the existentialist tradition, Philosophy, Death and Education shows that our understanding of death can play a key role in determining what, how and why we teach and learn. Death exerts an influence, often unnoticed, on our commitments and priorities, our ideals and relationships. A thoughtful examination of death, the authors suggest, can help us to see ourselves in a new light, and in so doing, allow us to better appreciate what others have to offer.
