Who hasn’t thought about finding a retreat from this world of busyness to a life of service and meditation?

Each piece is a glimpse of the journey, the collection as a whole compelling and spirit-touching.
I Take the Threatening Stick . . . from the fist of the teacher. Ask the child to hold onto each end. Grip between her tiny hands and lift her up. Past my chest and neck. By the time her eyes reach mine tears have dried. A frown become a smile. Then higher. Over my head. All squeals and laughter. The others, too. Queuing up for the next take-off. learning how to hold a pencil blossom moon
