IDEAS CURATED BY
CURATOR'S NOTE
This isn’t a book you read—it’s one you *feel*. It’s about noticing your breath, washing the dishes like they matter, and learning that peace isn’t somewhere you find—it’s what you return to. Written like a gentle conversation, this little book quietly re-centers your whole life. You don’t need incense or a mountaintop. Just a moment.
