Allowing Now: A Book of Mindfulness Poetry

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.
