Marianne Faithfull

I get a lot of help from Pema Chodron. She is the student of Chögyam Trungpa, who was Allen Ginsberg’s guru, and it was Allen who taught me to meditate, along with many other lessons from Buddhism.

Reminds me that disasters can be positive. Reminds me to accept whatever happens and to make it my friend. Grounded in disaster, it leads to the comfort and understanding that we — and only we — can bring to ourselves. Reminds me that we all have broken hearts.

This is one of those books I like to stock up on, have a few copies ready to give a friend, it's just so helpful. Wisdom and compassion right there in each page. My current copy is heavily bookmarked and just feels like those “in case of emergency break glass” boxes.
