Awakening, Presence, Vulnerability, Everyday Spirituality
If you often feel a quiet pressure to always be 'fine,' or find yourself constantly striving for a future happiness that feels just out of reach, this can help you lean into the richness of the present.
Mark Nepo, a poet and philosopher, draws from his own clear experience with illness and recovery to articulate how true awakening emerges from embracing life's full spectrum, not just its comforts.
