What follows is a collection of very old Zen stories. None of them are mine.

When you learn to tap into the deep wellspring of joy that is within you, nothing is impossible. A book of joy. Women have a great many challenges to deal with in their lives. Among the most ubiquitous of those challenges is self-care. Too often, we are focused on caring for others and not ourselves. Low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression are all too common when our lives are less fulfilling than they could be. Yet deep within, women have a tremendous spiritual resource a capacity for real joy that is not dependent on anything external. It is always available, regardless of circumstances.

You know the feeling. You're calm, clear, handling life well — and then something small happens and you're completely caught. The reaction rises before you can stop it.

In 21 short stories, he navigates the moments we all recognise: the pull of old habits, the sting of a careless word, the quiet satisfaction of needing to be right.

The Gateless Gate is a classic Zen koan collection compiled by Mumon Ekai. It presents 48 short koans, or paradoxical encounters, drawn from exchanges between Zen masters and students. After each case, Mumon Ekai adds his own commentary and verse. The book is not meant to teach Zen through straightforward explanation. Instead, it challenges the listener to move beyond ordinary logic and intellectual analysis. Many of the koans feel strange, abrupt, or impossible to solve in a conventional way.
