When No Thing Works: A Zen and Indigenous Perspective on Resilience, Shared Purpose, and Leadership in the Timeplace of Collapse -- Norma Wong, Paperback
Between falling apart and coming together lies the threshold--step through with a Zen master's invitation to practice hope in chaotic times. Take a breath. Take a step. In this time of collective acceleration--when institutions crumble, climate chaos intensifies, and polarization hardens hearts--Zen Rōshi and Native Hawaiian guide Norma Wong offers something different than solutions. She offers a way of being. Part poetry, part strategy, part spiritual teaching, When No Thing Works reads like sitting with a wise friend who sees both the falling-apartness and what's arising. With stories that spiral and return, with humor that lightens without dismissing, Wong invites us to:
- Lift our gaze from urgent chaos to see the horizon beckoning
- Move from "I" to "we" through breaking bread, sipping tea, sharing stories
- Find the critical juncture (机) where change begins
- Practice the leaps that collective transformation requires--not alone, but as "one and one and one"
