I Am Part of Infinity. It is about Einstein’s spiritual beliefs. I am only a few chapters in and it is really good. He asked important questions and his observations about religion are unique as they are amazing. Such clarity about the ununderstandable.

What is it about?

@SeekingAfrica it’s about astronauts on the space station reflecting on their lives and the planet as they go around the Earth.

Finished Buddhism for Pet Lovers and am now reading Mindfulness is Better than Chocolate. My T, who is a Zen priest, said he wasn't sure about that, but that eating chocolate mindfully was fantastic! :-)

Love it, I like your T. Decades ago I went to a meditation retreat and at the door were four Tibetan monks welcoming everyone as they entered. I was hanging out watching people enter bowing and doing all sorts of other cultural appropriation. The monks would solemnly bow back, etc. Then this big burly guy comes in and sees the monks and says “How’s it going guys”. The monks all lit up beaming with smiles. Like your T, they didn’t take themselves too seriously. Alan Watts used to talk about the highest state of being as “Playing at life”. Or as Bob Dylan sang, “it is life and life only”.

Just finished the entire Gray Man series. A lot of books... but worth the read.
