A mismash of a book of religious stuff with great black and white drawings of cups. I was about to trash it, when I realized I hav e a 10 years' collection of souvenir Atlanta cups all arranged together in my kitchen. Exactly where it belongs and it will go there. I dip intothe mishmash

"It is time for me to cherished the unwanted" p. 68. So, yes, it will stay for awhile.
For the right audience, this book might well be helpful and insightful. It was simply not the right book for me.
This is a low-stress, directed 6-week meditation. 4/10/22
An amazing resource for one's spiritual journey
