EVERYDAY SACRED: A Woman's Journey Home

Her struggle is one keenly felt in today's intensely pressured and time-starved world: how can we experience our lives fully in whatever we are doing at the momentùwhether cleaning the kitchen, faced with a situation that frustrates us, or momentarily exhilarated by some new fortune that's befallen us. Inspired by the image of the empty æbegging bowl' that Zen monks would start each day with to solicit enough food to nourish and sustain them, Bender discovers for herselfùand shows us in the processùhow to find that which is æjust enough' to fill our lives each day. The lessons along Bender's path of ædoubt and hope' reveal that each step is a place to learn and that æwe can seek the sacred everywhereùin our homes, in our daily activities, and hardest to see, in ourselves'.
