Owning It: examples of Zen lives.

I stumbled on this book at my local library. It is a good and easy read for students of Zen. The examples are as much Dharma talks about living life in the present and owning what is presented by life to a person. Some examples are clearer than others, but then it could be I was not ready to receive them. I plan on adding the book to my growing library of Buddhist literature.
