However, when you attend to your home, you begin to feel less hurried and more in tune with the world around you.

InSweeping Changes, Gary Thorp shows how the principles of Zen can bring harmony and peace to your life at home. You don't need special surroundings or to sit quietly in a formal posture to achieve the tranquillity of Zen; you can find it anywhere-in the action of dusting a shelf, organizing your closet, or feeding your cat. As Thorp conveys in sparkling prose, many everyday activities provide an opportunity for Zen practice, satisfaction, and spiritual growth. Whether you live in a small room, an apartment, or a palace, this delightful, insightful book will not only change your feelings toward housekeeping, it will help you see your home, and your place in it, in a new and nurturing light.
