With hundreds of thousands of views online, spoken word poet Andrea Gibson is known for creating deeply personal, vulnerable art. But when Gibson learned they had cancer, they transformed a difficult diagnosis into their greatest teacher.
Looking death straight in the eye has taught Gibson how to welcome in the unthinkable, and savor the fullness in every moment.
Here, Andrea Gibson shares the lessons that facing mortality has granted them, passing onto us the wisdom that meditating with ephemerality can create.
