Kate’s work can be well expressed up by a poem (part of),written by Ram Dass, a spiritual teacher.

Be here now. Don’t anticipate, don’t yearn for things of the past.
Let the past go with forgiveness and let the future go with no anticipation.
Each of us contains a being that doesn't’t die and a being that does die.
Everything must change except the soul.
Your preparation for dying is done by identifying with your soul, not your ego.
Identify with your soul now.………………
It’s important that you not be so overwhelmed by the processes of dying
I wish you a process for dying that doesn't’t overwhelm you.
I wish you a moment of dying that you can be conscious of.
I wish you a future incarnation in a plane of incredible light.”
