SEE, MIS PEAB, TOOB TA KOJUKui Olympia lahkub oma väikesest Virginias asuvast kodulinnast, pole tal kavas tagasi vaadata, veel vähem koju naasta. Aga pärast aastapikkust teel olemist tõmbab õe kihlumine Olympia kõigesse sellesse, mille ta maha jättis: perekond, abikaasa ja lein, mida ta on üritanud unustada. Ta on otsustanud jääda mõneks päevaks, võib-olla nädalaks - jätmaks endale piisavalt aega selleks, et käia surnuaias ja viia lõpule lahutus, mida abikaasa Spencer Olympialt palus. Aga ka mees elab üle nende ühist kaotust, lisaks on tal probleeme eakate vanematega ja selle tõttu on ta süda sama haavatav kui Olympial. Mida rohkem aega nad teineteise seltsis veedavad, seda vähem kindlad on nad selles, et suudavad teineteisest lõplikult lahku minna. Kui päevavalgele tulevad perekonnasaladused ning perekondlikud sidemed venivad katkemispunktini, peab Olympia otsustama, kuhu ta järgmisena läheb ja kuhu kuulub. Ta on harjunud eluraskustega ise hakkama saama, aga ehk on parim viis paraneda siiski üheskoos.

​​Written without "yoga jargon," Feeling Happy explores the nature of happiness as a basic human capacity--and illuminates how suffering, imbalanced emotion, and confusion can cast a veil over one's ability to truly feel happy. What is the fully embodied experience of happiness, and is there any way for it to last? Feeling Happy helps you explore what happiness is and offers practical steps toward cultivating happiness as a deep, embodied expression of life and connection to others. Using familiar examples from everyday life, traditional understanding of one's search for happiness, stories, and humor, Freeman and Taylor demonstrate how to find your way back home to the essence of who you are, and the direct experience of what it feels like to be truly happy. The book offers 24 accessible practices--meditations, simple movements, and breathing exercises--along with 22 black-and-white illustrative photos as guides along the path toward fully embodying happiness. These practices together with insight into the nature of being, will allow you to wake up and integrate the physical body, heart, and mind through the breath so that even in difficult times, compassion, equanimity, and happiness can emerge. Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor draw from their years of experience practicing and teaching yoga, meditation and the philosophical interfacing of yoga and Buddhism to explore what happiness is and to offer practical steps toward cultivating happiness as a deep, embodied expression of life. They offer insight into the nature of happiness as a basic human capacity--and illuminate how suffering, imbalanced emotion, and confusion can cast a veil over one's ability to truly feel happy. Some of the practices included: - Focusing and calming the mind- Observing and engaging the breath as a guide- Working with difficulty and vulnerability- Keeping a tender and open heart- Building authenticity and presence- Attuning to yourself and to others- Cultivating kindness and compassion in complex times- And more

Sel suvel toovad pingutused muuta lagunenud teraviljahoidla kunstigaleriiks neile uusi sõpru, uue armastuse ja uusi väljakutseid.
