Best book I've read on this so far (not that I can do it...)--the potential seems to be here in a more helpful way, with many, very detailed meditations, etc. Practice, as well as theory and anecdote. (

Epigraph

In his strange, not-quite-human way, [Adam] is constantly reminding me that real magic doesn't come from achieving the perfect appearance, from being Cinderella at the ball with both glass slippers and a killer hairstyle. The real magic is in the pumpkin, in the mice, in the moonlight; not beyond ordinary life, but within it....It is a quality of attention to ordinary life that is so loving and intimate it is almost worship. - Martha Beck, Expecting Adam

Dedication

To everyone who ever called me in times of need--and their owners.

First words

I was as skeptical as any sane person would be that morning, fourteen years ago, whenI loaded Rodney, my cat, into his carrier to take him down to the holistic veterinary clinic where a psychic was seeing animals.
