The Death Poem Of Bob Marley
This essay links Bob Marley's final work, "Redemption Song," to the Buddha's final teaching and to a 1,000-year-old Zen tradition of death poetry--when you know you are about to die, compose an enlightened goodbye. Written as a guided meditation, the essay leads the reader through Marley's final months, into the death poet's state of mind, and then back to 1980 to watch Marley perform "Redemption Song" live in concert. Ambitious, fantastically vivid, original, thought-provoking, inspiring, and it even sticks the landing.
