Más información sobre el libro

..And goodness knowswe are all as welcomeas we ever were here,in the holy, flowing hold of now.This is a book of mindfulness poetry in the tradition of Mary Oliver, Maya Angelou, John O'Donoghue, and Rumi's ancient wisdom.The thirty poems in this selection are intimately alive to the teachings offered by the smallest life moment.Some, like the title poem, " Allowing Now, " address the topic of mindfulness head-on. Others explore themes like self-compassion, inter-being, and creative acceptance.These thoughtful and lyrical poems do not shy from life's challenges or pains, but explore with startling clarity and kindness the mysteries of daily experience.They remind us what it is to live openly and freely, as alert witnesses to the unfolding moment. And how to reach out to others from that place of presence.In this collection, you'll find poems celebrating the miracle of creation, poems about birth and rebirth, poems about writing and creative flow practice, poems about passion, and perfection.While not shying away from adversity or suffering, this selection of inspirational poetry takes you deep inside the perceptions of a poet for whom the ordinary experience is always a treasure, and an opportunity for growth.
