Description
The first full-length collection of poems from contemplative Buddhist nun Sister Jina van Hengel, each short verse radiates the energy of a single moment of awareness.
Like a master gardener, over the years the revered Zen teacher Thich Nhat Hanh has cultivated a host of brilliant monastics in the Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism. Living simply and practicing deeply for many years in the French countryside, Sister Jina van Hengel is one of Plum Village's most beloved senior Dharma teachers, known for her embodiment of the teachings, her warmth of character, and her Zen poetry.
For readers of natural contemplatives in the vein of Mary Oliver, Thomas Merton, and, of course, Thich Nhat Hanh, these poems teach us to savor everyday life with awareness and gratitude.

Muskan R, Reviewer
This book is a collection of zen poetry and zen it is indeed! It is so calming and relaxing and every short verse brought a smile to my face.
I am not a follower of Buddhism (or any religion really) but this book drove me to search for more books with similar poetry. It was a truly meditating experience.
It poems are divided into seasons and every short verse brings every aspect of that season to life one-by-one. It isn’t the kind of poetry you read once, it’s the kind you read again and again in silence and drink it till the last drop.
I loved it! It left me craving for more of it.
