Body of Radiant Knots
Being Bodies, Buddhist Women on the Paradox of Embodiment. Edited by Lenore Friedman & Susan Moon. (1997)
"The two things that have shaped my adult life more than anything else are meditation and being sick. I know this is true because I cry as I write it. They are so tightly braided that I can no longer imagine what either would be without the other. Meditation helped me to make it through years of illness; illness forced my meditation to be deep and strong and real. Because of their unyielding collaboration, the dark colors of the open wound and the experience of bearing the unbearable are known to me."
