This book contains 108 thoughts on "becoming," or the path towards self-enlightenment. Rather than seeking answers, this book opens questions of reflection, self-examination, and meditation. These short snippets are effective starting points for Buddhist meditation and draw upon the author's personal experiences in an Indian ashram. Some examples
"We squabble over precision When the knife is already Deep in our chest."
"Background shapes us, guiding the future Not twisting it or hoarding it Hang up the past and ignore the future There is only the present With its gaping mouth."
