Meditation/Women's Studies

"There is only now, this moment, this flower...Look closely. Forget any other flower you have ever seen. Let this be the first flower." --from Open Mind

"I greatly appreciate the insight and wisdom to be found in Open Mind. Both the quotations and the editor's commentary offer the chance to step into each day replenished and widened-more fully awake, more fuly assenting to our own particular life." --Jane Hirshfield, author of Women in Praise of the Sacred
