The Barn at the End of the World: A Quaker Buddhist Shepherd's Memoir - Spiritual Journey & Farm Life Story | Perfect for Meditation Retreats, Nature Lovers & Self-Discovery

Plenty to enjoy in this book. O'Reilly's writing style is relaxed but precise. She refers to reality in the barn and to perceptions about reality from her experiences with a variety of spiritual practices. Moving from her own explorations and through her daily life events, she reveals parts of the path that many of us are traveling. I love the gentleness, kindness, openness of her view. She shares the smallest things, and the most vast, including her joyous "shape music," and her tangle of inner dialogues while visiting Plum Village, her physical wrestling with the care of sheep, and her deep inner respect for those whose work it is to tend the earth and its beings. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys good writing, humor in the face of life and it's twists, and a dip in the pool with a spiritual seeker.
