Tea and Ceremony is about far more than tea. The book deals with the American fascination with Zen, meditation, and the value of simply living. It's about experiencing tranquility, about ceremony and removal and how removal improves the quality of life by providing detachment from those trials and limitations that inhibit awareness of the present.Whether simple or elaborate, a ceremony creates a rare opportunity to do something wise and compassionate, not only for yourself but for others. The author shows how many different ways of tea – even alone or out-of-doors – can be equated with removal in which one becomes centered in quiet spaciousness where it is possible to accept whatever comes. It explains how this can bring calm and focus to both the host and the guest. The book embraces the reader in the spirit of ceremony while creating a sense that it would be easy to follow on your own. Tea and Ceremony is beautifully illustrated, with an introduction by Taoist author, Deng Ming-Dao. It is an autobiographical account that reflects the rewards of tea ceremony and proves that, along with its many medicinal properties, tea offers unusual moments of tranquility.

<p>An extraordinary love story, Wife Just Let Go are the last words Robert Briggs wrote to his wife before he passed away from Alzheimer’s disease. A publisher, literary agent, and author who deeply felt the influence of the Beat era, Robert never stopped writing. Even in his later stages of Alzheimer’s, Robert was able to share insights into what he called “the power of aging,” and his love of poetry, jazz, and Zen. He continued to write, valiantly, of his younger days and of his stint in the army when he and his platoon witnessed an atomic bomb explosion at Frenchman Flat, Nevada, an experience that forever haunted his imagination. What began as a promise to publish his last works evolved into this duo-memoir. His wife Diana, as his long-time partner and primary caregiver, joined him in this telling, as a way to restore for the reader, and for Robert, the parts of the story he was losing. Her meditative commentary became her solace through her own path of pain and grief as she witnessed the daily, wrenching loss of her husband’s memory, and ultimately his death. Poignantly written yet unflinchingly honest, the book navigates not only the waters of grief and loss, but also the other side of Alzheimer’s: gifts that sustain and inspire loved ones left behind.</p>
