About this audiobook
You want to know why dying is like orgasm? Blayney Colmore, 30 years an Episcopal priest, life escort, explains. Baptism, marriage, burial, hitting for the cycle. Portal to tomb. Assassinated seminary classmate, close friends with Watergate figures, African odyssey, divorce, remarriage, all in the shadow of inevitable, impending death. Does death make hash of all our efforts? Is there a dimension beyond what we know? Can normal people access it? As we burn down our culture's best achievements can we do something more useful than mourn? Come along on this holy roller coaster. You may recognize the highs and lows.
