Tuesday
Teasers!
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme,
hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do
the following:
• Grab
your current read • Open to a random page • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences
from somewhere on that page • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make
sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the
book for others!) • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT
participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
The Wisdom of No Escape: And the Path of Loving-Kindness (Shambhala Library)
by
Pema Chodron
Page 123. From an
everyday perspective, it seems good to do things that are kind of convenient;
there is no problem with that journey – which is to say, when you start to want
to live your life fully instead of opting for death when you begin to feel this
passion for life and for growth, when discovery and exploration and curiosity
become your path – then basically, if you follow your heart, you’re going to
find that it’s often extremely inconvenient.
Summary from Amazon “It’s possible to say yes to life in all
its manifestations, Pema Chödrön teaches—by embracing all the happiness and
suffering, all the intelligence and confusion that are a natural part of our
existence. Doing so opens a wellspring of courage and love within our hearts.
In this gift edition of her first book, Pema presents traditional Buddhist
wisdom that anyone can relate to.”
