When the Cage Dies, the Bird Lives, consists of the author’s own artwork and thoughts that invite soulful contemplation.

The book is meant to be a celebration, carrying the message that our bodies are mere cages housing the undying spirit that lies within.

What inspired me to write this book:

Throughout my life, I’ve had to say goodbye to numerous loved ones.
Although painful, those experiences seasoned my soul with compassion
and insight, moving me to create this book. ~Salee

Getting older presents

many challenges and heartbreaks

like having to adjust to a withering body,

and

having to tell ourselves over and over

that we’re not our body.

Identifying with the body

can only lead to distress.

The body is the cage

that houses us during our

sojourn here…

That’s All it is!
