Zen doesn't wait until you find the right cushion, the right teacher, or the right moment of silence.It's already there. In the hum of a washing machine you were trying to meditate through. In two blackbirds on a rain-soaked pavement after the worst day of the week. In a crooked radish held in muddy hands at dusk.Poetic Zen Stories brings together 21 original tales written in spare, rhythmic prose, short enough to read in five minutes, quiet enough to stay with you for days.
