Description

One Blade of Grass is a deeply personal and thought-provoking memoir by award-winning novelist and poet Henry Shukman. Born into a rationalist household in Oxford during the spiritual heyday of the Sixties and Seventies, Shukman's unexpected spiritual awakening led him on a lifelong quest to integrate the experience into his life, ultimately finding solace in Zen Buddhism.

Through his journey, Shukman explores the emotional, spiritual, and physical healing that can be found through meditative practice, sharing his struggles with anxiety, depression, and chronic eczema in a way that is both humorous and moving. With simple, lucid language, he demystifies Zen training, revealing the profound insights that can be gained from contemplative practice.

This beautifully written memoir invites readers to join Shukman on his journey, exploring the hidden treasures of life that contemplative practice can reveal. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in mindfulness, meditation, and spirituality, One Blade of Grass is a powerful and thought-provoking account of one man's search for meaning and healing.
