trees preach the dharma
You should entreat trees and rocks to preach the Dharma, and you should ask rice fields and gardens for the truth. Ask pillars for the Dharma, and learn from hedges and walls. In earth, stones, sand, and pebbles, there is to be found the extremely inconceivable mind which moves the sincere heart. — Dogen Zenji

| Maybe this is what happens when an author puts the word "great" in a title--it becomes an overambitious, overwritten monolith to bore through. Brimming with lifeless history, unmemorable detail, charmless characters and epic timelines. I experienced ...more | |

| I went ahead and did it, perhaps it was because my library had so many copies on the shelves that I didn't have to wait. Except for the title, Harry spares nothing in the telling of his life story, and much of it is as mundane as anyone else's. But y ...more | |

| An astonishing experience for me, that a book about games and gamers is nothing other than a tenderly wise book about friendship, trust, love, partnership, grief and pain. Ms. Zevin makes a convincing case that fantasy worlds—in both the making and t ...more | |

| Toweringly ambitious, and with an entertaining hard-luck narrator, but about halfway through this saga I felt like I did reading Hillbilly Elegy, i.e. irritated. The good thing is that Demon wakes up, takes responsibility and straightens himself out. ...more | |

| Yes, it does lag in the middle, there is so much story to tell, and it's a bit of a labor to carry the whole of it to the only way it can end, the only way it can end is in the softness of heart, wetness of tears, and you know at once that you are be ...more | |

“You don't have to wait for happiness, because there's no time but now to be happy. You don't have to go somewhere else, because there's no place but here to find it. You don't have to do something else, because there's nothing more to it. You don't have to get something else, because everything you already have is enough. You just have to be happy. ...”

“Your life is your practice. Your spiritual practice does not occur someplace other than in your life right now, and your life is nowhere other than where you are. You are looking for answers, insight, and wisdom that you already possess. Live the life in front of you, be the life you are, and see what you find out for yourself.”
― Momma Zen: Walking the Crooked Path of Motherhood

“The life of a mother is the life of a child: you are two blossoms on a single branch.”
