"if we keep ourselves open, they will come" so much wisdom in just a human being i can't even comprehend, i love her so so much.

You don't know until you 'know' - Patti Smith explained accurately!

I adore her. She is a well known witch in NYC, so talented and so kind. Someone I look up to.

Dex Morgan: Patti is not saying that death doesn’t suck. She is speaking from the experience of losing so many people she loved within a few years-Robert Mapplethorpe in 1989, Richard Sohl, the keyboard player in her first band in 1990, her husband and her brother dying a month apart, in Nov.1994, all so young-in their 40s. Then her parents and others. She is speaking as a person who has endured profound loss and out of this she has been given a much greater awareness of the privilege of living life on earth. ❤️

Pasolini wrote "„ Death is not | in not being able to communicate | but in not being able to be understood anymore. " [„La morte non è | nel non poter comunicare | ma nel non poter più essere compresi.“]

Yes. And the more people we lose, the more spiritual we become.
