Status Updates From Dreaming Me

This life story is fascinating, but writing style is a bit difficult for me: 1 - it reads like fiction, 2 - a feeling like you are between classic memoir and commercial novel, kinda "half of dis and half of dat". Some paragraphs are just awesome tho: deep, emotional, horrifying, sad, funny or painful. I feel also that the author is very honest and I find spiritual journeys very inspiring...

Superb, an enthralling read ! Honest, wise. As one now engaging Mahamudra, I found her sharing of her Great Seal retreat a helpful reminder that awaking is a gradual process, so to engage the path with gentleness to self. Raised Baptist, like her, I appreciate her respect for that path, as I do. She reminds us - however far we travel, we carry home with us. This is a truly humble being.

"I doubted myself a lot in those days. I felt like I had let my people down by not becoming a Black Panther party member. I had abandoned the confrontational route and chosen the Buddhist path of peace. Now I was unsure about what kind of reception I would get from my own people because of this." p. 195
