The constant barrage of life's demands and cultural information has left us with very little time to reflect on what it all may mean to us and to our world. The practice of meditation has more to offer us than ever, just when we have the least time and awareness to devote to it. That is the beauty and simplicity of this book. By selecting and arranging just one quote per day, the author has distilled the wisdom of 240 years into easily digestible bites.
