Reviews / Votes
The book is aptly-named: it is to be sipped, slowly, savoured, not gulped. Each brief mediation is simple and profound. Some flash fire in the heart and mind at once, some take time, patience, re-reading, as with the process of meditation itself. Here is a world without rush, without fear, full of expectation and quiet joy. -- Jane WilliamsMore details
