A beautifully presented and uplifting book of contemplative, wry, sometimes funny essays about living thoughtfully and with care amidst life's challenges. Give it to a friend and gift it to youself.
Brigid Lowry began her writing career by self-publishing two dreadful poems when she was eight. She spent her twenties living in a Buddhist community, veered into performance poetry in her thirties, subsequently gained a masters degree in creative writing and wrote eight award-winning young adult books. She is a Zen student, a socialist, and a creative writing teacher.
"Brigid raises a brave teacup to the gnarly, mixed, yet ultimately
generous provenance of this world. This artfully threaded string of
honest, tender worry-beads in the form of small unvarnished gems of
hard-won self-acceptance comes with far too much edgy candour ever
to be mistaken for sticky self-help. A tonic for the spirit.
Recommended dosage: once daily, before sleep." -- Susan Murphy,
author of Red Thread Zen
"Infused with honesty and insight and brimming with compassion,
this wise book is a nourishing companion for troubled times. A
must-read for cultivating a tender and loving approach to
ourselves, others and our world." -- Sally Gillespie, author of
Climate Crisis and Consciousness
"An exquisitely unembellished Zen lesson in the art of attention,
Brigid Lowrys book is at once a memoir, a poem, a song, a bracing
cup of tea and a healing balm for the unique blend of pain, joy and
wonder of being human. A masterly portrayal of the miraculously
ordinary extraordinariness of this very moment." -- Perle
Besserman, co-author of Grassroots Zen
