For Kurt Baumgartner (1949-2025).

In this episode, Jack weaves together a beautiful story of the dying of his dad. Listeners will appreciate his vulnerability, insight, and ability to make meaningful connections. Although your family context will no doubt be different than Jack’s, you can still learn to marvel at the ancient technology of death. Our deepest sympathies to the Baumgartner family from the Color of Dust community.

“All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field.”

(Isaiah 40:6)

Here is the video that Jack references of John Moriarty telling the story of his mother’s death.
