pickI loved this trilogy and enjoyed the last book even when it meandered. Reading about the places visited during this last road trip with Otto and Rinpoche, I was sad knowing that I won‘t be journeying with them again. But a few destinations have made it onto my bucket list. I‘ll be wondering about Otto and the family for awhile, and reflecting on Rinpoche‘s “wessons” for years to come. If a man like Otto can learn to let go, maybe I can too. 4 ⭐️
This is one of my favorite Christmas stories. Hope my boss loves it as much as I did 🎄
Now this is a challenge that I look forward to participating in! Show me the money 💰or credit in this case. 🎧 (tagged book is my current audiobook)
pickI enjoyed this book very much(pub.1985). I love having the cross cultural perspective that these Folktales are able to achieve and bring. These types of books are some of my favorites because it shows off cultures other than the one I live in.
Aside from that, I think that the illustrations are very unique. I like the constant theme and background with the writing and the illustrations.

pickI knew that I had to read this book. It was suggested by several different people at different times, and eventually my mentor bought it for me. If that isn‘t a sign, I don‘t know what it! It gave me great things to think about, and I was brought to tears at the end. It‘s so beautiful to think of life as a gift and invitation to love.
I had to return this one to the library yesterday. ☹️ I was anticipating being allowed one more renewal, but someone had put a hold on it, so it had to go back. I was a little over a third of the way through, and was reading it more slowly than anticipated, since at least the first sections were very reflective/meditative. But I‘d like to finish it, and will definitely revisit it when I can get it from the library again!
When Jesus prayed, he was conscious that, in his prayer, he met the Presence, and this consciousness was far more important and significant than the answering of his prayer. It is for this reason primarily that God for Jesus was the answer to all the issues and problems of life. When I, with all my mind and heart, truly seek God and give myself in prayer, I, too, meet his Presence, and then I know for myself that Jesus was right.
To domesticate the word;
To safeguard its character,
To purge the violence from its face;
To allow no service that defiles, degrades;
To make it one with truth;
To fill it with the pure intent;
This is to make the word the Sacrament,
The angelos of God.
This is the breath of life that makes man, man.
For there is not a word in my tongue
But lo, Thou knowest it altogether.
What an awesome surprise @UwannaPublishme !!!! I gave a little shriek when I saw the book - I‘m so excited 😃 Thank you for making me smile and do a really embarrassing dance through my apartment in pure joy 💖
