Summary:
In A Rose for Your Pocket, Thich Nhat Hanh invites children of all
ages to reflect on the question: Have you loved your mother enough?
This lovely prose poem, a gentle reminder of the qualities embodied
by mothers, leads the reader to a new and deeper appreciation of his
or her mother, whether she is still alive or has passed away. Nhat
Hanh shows how motherhood is celebrated in different cultures and
shares the story of how his desire to become a monk affected his
relationship with his own mother. Previously available only as a
small, staple-bound booklet, this completely redesigned and revised
edition contains the original text along with additional material on
motherhood based on Nhat Hanh’s more recent teachings. It also
includes a meditation on the “Interbeing” of mother and child,
teachings on mindfulness and finding one’s true home, and
instructions for the beautiful Rose Ceremony.
