I recently launched my new website, www.jenniferbarclaybooks.com, but I realised that all my books direct people to this blog, which hasn't been updated for ages. Hence this little post, which will have to suffice for now.I'm writing this on a calm, beautiful evening in late October, from my home on Tilos.

“Even spiritual practice isn’t about trying to gain something we’re missing, it’s about learning to see and live in harmony with this infinite light and ability that’s already there.”

“I'm happy that I explored Korea in my own way, not the systematic Korean way but blundering into strange situations and finding my own path. Wandering is good for surprises, and I still prefer unpredictable travel. ... Let a path lead you somewhere and see where you end up.”

“Vera said: “Why do you feel you have to turn everything into a story?”

Because if I tell the story, I can make you laugh, and I would rather have you laugh at me than feel sorry for me.
Because if I tell the story, it doesn't hurt as much.
Because if I tell the story, I can get on with it.”
