One Minute Meditation

Subtitled 'pause, read, live' this gem of a book by a former Anglican priest who was also a script writer for Spitting Image is an ideal treasury of reflections to dip into on a daily basis. Each entry is less than one page, sometimes a lot shorter, and many are based on everyday incidents in the author's life. He recommends incorporating a short period of reflection into one's daily schedule based partly on reading and thinking about the page, but also reading it twice and noticing a reaction, feeling or thought that arises; then applying the insight in one's daily life. To give you a flavour, there is a short passage about money, pointing out that the word currency comes from currere, meaning to flow. We are also reminded about the importance of rest and authentic acknowledgement of feelings.
