It is “Just to sit,” a practice of wholeheartedly being as you are, moment after moment, no matter what is happening. It is a practice of deeply connecting with how it feels to be alive in your surroundings, whether on a meditation cushion or not, and stepping forward from that connection. It is opening to your life, wherever you are, and finding right there a deep well of innate wisdom, compassion and care.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eExclusive to the audiobook, following Peter Coyote’s narration is special bonus content of Suzuki Roshi in his own voice.
