Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Blossoming: Dharma Diary Poems Volume II picks up where The Universe for Breakfast, (Volume I) left off, continuing an exploration through mindfulness and realisations into the beauty of Presence. Joy Magezis is an ordained member of the Core Community of the Order of Interbeing, established by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. This collection includes poems about her practice with the Sangha both in Britain and Plum Village, France. An Usui Reiki Master, Joy explores experiences teaching and practicing Reiki. As a long-time socially engaged activist, she writes about movements for Peace and Justice. And her Jewish cultural roots are reflected in this volume. Of The Universe for Breakfast, Here & Now said: 'These poems beautifully reflect her Buddhist commitment and world view, her struggles and their resolution or acceptance...The author does not shy away from addressing political inequalities and brutalities, but she also has an eye or ear for the beauty of the sun, a bird song, dew drops. I found the poems very nourishing...' Joy's poetry has appeared in The Mindfulness Bell, Here & Now, Visions of the City Magazine and in the anthology Summer Times in the Algarve. Her classic Women's Studies text and her novels have been published in various languages.
