"Arriving in the Now!" is more than just a book; it is a wise friend that takes you by the hand every day. You will love indulging in this year's supply of inspiring texts, wonderful stories, and suggestions for small spiritual exercises in pleasant daily doses. Two different cancer diagnoses have led the poet and philosopher Mark Nepo to open his heart ever wider and consciously allow life to express itself through him. In this book, he has gathered all the "quiet teachers" who have accompanied and supported him on this journey. Nepo's words speak of love, compassion, friendship, and pain - and of a joy for life that cannot be diminished even by the most difficult situations.
