We live in difficult times & life sometimes seems like a turbulent river threatening to drown us & destroy the world. Why then shouldn’t we cling to the ceretainty of the shore – to our familar patterns and habits? We learn through this book that fear-based clinging keeps us from the infinitely more satisfying experience of being “fully alive”. The teachings which form the basis of this book are called the “Three Commitments”. They provide a wealth of wisdom for learning to step right into the river & embrace the groundlessness of being human. When we do, we see not just how much better it feels to live that way, but that we naturally & effectively reach out to others in care & support.
