Sarah in some way dies from inattention, from not being properly honored and listened to. In this meditation, we work to find the Sarah inside us, the deep knowing resting place that connects us to the divine; we find this place and rest in it; we listen to it and honor it, so that Sarah is chay, alive, again inside us.
