"Everything I want or need ? the living truth of life, love, beauty, purpose, and peace ? is taught to me right here, no farther away than the ground beneath my feet."
When Zen teacher Karen Maezen Miller and her family land in a house with a hundred-year-old Japanese garden, she uses the paradise in her backyard to glean the living wisdom of our natural world. Through her eyes, rocks convey faith, ponds preach stillness, flowers give love, and leaves express the effortless ease of letting go. The book welcomes readers into the garden for Zen lessons in fearlessness, forgiveness, presence, acceptance, and contentment. Intimate and encouraging, Miller's voice imparts the peace and lightheartedness of one who has found her sanctuary and purpose. In homage to her departed teacher, Taizan Maezumi Roshi, who once gardened the ground Miller now cultivates, her down-to-earth insights are plainspoken and profound. "Come see the garden," she invites readers. "The garden that is your life."
In the tradition of Anne Morrow Lindbergh who offered her timeless meditations in Gift from the Sea, Miller gathers inspiration from the ground beneath her feet to remind us that paradise is always here and now.
