Awakening Tapping on Your Window:
Encountering the Immensity of Life


Poet Jane Hirshfield writes, “Softly, calmly, immensity taps at your life.”

In Zen we call that awakening. This four-part series explores practice as a fundamentally creative act, whereby we discover that we ourselves are that immensity, and learn to listen more closely to the humming intelligence of all life.
