This memoir is the unlikely story of how, Bob, an 87-year-old Midwestern farmer, moved from Mooresville, Indiana to Garfield, Texas in 2016, to live with Spike, a middle-aged woman with a punk rock sensibility and a ranch that fell into her lap. This collection includes interlocking pieces about their time together with a cast of characters including a horse with cancer, a flock of very funny chickens, Chuck Norris, snakes in the house, Weekend Vampires, lesbian brides, gospel singers, rock n' rollers, and a whole host of others. It's a story of deep pain, tremendous healing, and enduring love.
These are 108 essential teachings for developing compassion and clarity amid the anxieties and hardships of real life. Collecting some of the most powerful passages from Pema Chödrön’s many beloved books, this compact handbook for spiritual practice is rich with inspiration and insight. Here she explores life-changing concepts, themes, and practices from the Buddhist tradition, showing how anyone (not just Buddhists) can draw from them to become more courageous, aware, and kindhearted.
We typically meet on the 4th Thursday of the month. New members are welcome. Join us!
