PRAISE FOR THE BOOK
‘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 Lowry’s 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
