<p>Terry Keenan is a Rinzai Zen Buddhist priest who trained under Roko Jido Sherry Chayat and Eido T. Shimano Roshi. Keenan says: "I have been wanting to talk to God all my life. My grandfather said art is a way to talk to God, a nun told me monks talk to God all day. So I am an artist monk." In this moving autobiography, Keenan traces his path to Zen through his struggles with Catholicism, alcoholism and an inability to maintain an honest relationship with his wife and children. Examining reality as "the last nostalgia," this impressive and inspiring work shows how one man turned to the following Three Guides: No Blame, Be Kind, Love Everything. At the same time, Keenan examines how the individual can embrace Buddhism's foundations of no-self and impermanence. Moving, pertinent, and highly original, St. Nadie inWinter uses poetry, evocative quotations, personal story, and raw insight in the tradition of Thomas Merton to illuminate the dark corners of our lives with the light of awareness.</p>
