Frank Ostaseski is one of the founders of the Zen Hospice Project in San Francisco.  His book, The Five Invitations:  Discovering What Death Can Teach Us About Living Fully, inspired my recent sermon on hope.  We were going to explore more of his wisdom, grounded in Buddhism and his experience with hundreds of hospice clients and their families. However, “no plan survives…”, so resiliency and flexibility are the keys!
