One Arrow, One Life:  Zen, Archery, and Daily Life

Kushner provides some of the most clear, lucid prose I have ever read.

The book is simplicity itself to read. Here is a favorite passage: "Time
cannot be recaptured. Once a moment is gone, it cannot be repeated." He
urges that we "pay full attention to each instant, to every activity no
matter how trivial it might seem." He advises us to do each action as
if it were the only action we will do on earth.
