When I was researching for our Grief, Loss and Transformation theme, I came across the book The Gate of Tears by Jay Michaelson. Jay is a bestselling author working at the intersection of politics and spirituality, and I have known him for a few years to be a man of deep integrity and sensitivity. As I read his book, I resonated with almost every word, and I even wondered if he had written the book to inspire this issue in some retrocausal way. It is a pleasure to offer this interview to you and I am sure it will inspire many of you to read the entire book.
