This moment of perfect clarity that is the force behind all the traditional Japanese artsmdash;from archery to flower arrangingmdash;is celebrated here in Dave Lowrys exploration of the common principles shared by calligraphy and the martial arts. Forty-two examples of Lowrys calligraphy; accompanied by his essays; show how the way of the brush reflects the strategic principles of the way of the sword. Each calligraphy represents a term from the martial artsmdash;such as do; the way; or wa; harmony. The accompanying text amplifies our understanding of the term; what it meant to Japanese warriors; and what it means to practitioners of calligraphy and the martial arts today. What becomes clear is that these two seemingly unrelated disciplines actually partake of the same profound elemental spirit.

Mary has great job capturing the multiple end of life issues; concerns ; joys; and challenges. It is a BEAUTIFUL book! I appreciate her honest advice and perspective; lots of gems to ponder on! I am going to buy a box full and give to families that might need it. I too am a hospice nurse and found so many familiar themes and stories from her book.K.
