Part memoir, part zen manual, PARADISE IN PLAIN SIGHT is a beautiful offering of wisdom, knowledge, and inspiration. I love the duality that comes through so clearly in Karen Maezen Miller's writing. She's not a master gardener, but she loves tending to her garden. She's not a zen guru, but she's passionate about zen.

This book shines as a great example of the author practicing what she preaches... there is no "one" answer. No perfect way to do anything. All we've got is this moment, where our lives unfold.

Every time I picked up this book, I felt enveloped in the sense of calm, peace, and ease that continued to linger throughout the day. Reading PARADISE IN PLAIN SIGHT was a beautiful experience, and one I'm very grateful to have had.

This book reminded me of Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird, as both books tie experiences in the author's life to a larger subject (writing, Zen Buddhism).
