This enchanting book is a meditation on a womans search for inner peace and a reawakening of the creative self. Constrained by a traditional Japanese upbringing, devastated by a crumbling marriage and the deaths of friends and family, artist Mayumi Oda finds herself returning to the teachings and practice of her Buddhist childhood. At Green Gulch Farm, the beautiful Zen retreat in Northern California, she finds a new tranquility and creative spirit through her pen, her brush, and her trowel. A little gem, this heartfelt narrative is sprinkled with verse and contemplative vignettes and is awash with Odas watercolors and lush prints. It will move anyone who has sought a slower pace, a sacred place...the garden path.

More About I Opened the Gate, Laughing: An Inner Journey
Sweet book Editing this book was one of my most formative experiences in my adult life - working with Mayumi opened me up to my capacities to being able to interpret other people's experiences, and translate between cultures. Her openness about her transitions in her marriage, and expanding her creative process really had a profound impact on... I so appreciate her story and her work. A beautifully designed book as well.
