Aus dem Klappentext

Greeting Card Wisdom is a collection of our best-selling greeting cards featuring the painting and calligraphy of Renee Locks. This book was inspired by the many people who buy Brush Dance greeting cards -- and never send them! These cards are often displayed on walls, on desks, or throughout people's homes as gentle reminders or affirmations, a way to see the world a little differently. In the midst of our busy lives, here is a collection of powerful words and images to help us slow down and to appreciate what is all around us.

On the back of every Brush Dance card are the words, The Brush Dance is a Yurok Indian healing ritual where being true to yourself means giving your best to helping a person in need. Being true to yourself is the one and only Yurok Indian law.

The great Zen teacher Dogen compared life to the act of rowing a boat. We are all in our own boats, being carried by the current of the river. But we do not control the river. We do not know where the river will take us. Our task is to simply paddle the boat and meet whatever comes, and to realize that we are all in the same river, being strengthened by not knowing what will happen next.
