Bare-Bones Meditation

Bare-Bones MeditationBy: Joan Tollifson Born with only one hand, Joan Tollifson grows up feeling different, finds identity as a bisexual lesbian and a disability rights activist, but also sinks into drug addiction and alcoholism. She embraces Zen Buddhism and then a very bare bones spirituality that has no form. Bare Bones Meditation reveals the inner process of the mind in a new way, and Tollifson's account is beautifully written intense and from the heart.
