Meer over het boek

In this book a visual artist and a writer offer the fruits of contemplative practice. Marley Kaul, a painter for over 50 years, offers 20 images of egg tempera paintings made during a year long period of meditative reflection after receiving a serious medical diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis in 2016. Taiju Geri Wilimek, living in the aftermath of a 1998 cancer diagnosis offers poetry that could only have been written after a long period of healing, enabled by the study and practice of mindfulness meditation and the teachings of zen. Kaul and Wilimek, friends for decades, share a pull toward the investigation of life and death through meditation and art.
