Maurine Stuart (1922–1990) was one of a select group of students on the leading edge of Buddhism in America: a woman who became a Zen master. In this book, she draws on down-to-earth Zen stories, her friendships with Japanese Zen teachers, and her experiences as a concert pianist to apply the inner meanings of Buddhism to practicing the basic ethics of daily living—nowness, unselfishness, compassion, and good will toward every living being. She emphasizes that inner growth comes through our own efforts and intuition, especially as we cultivate them through meditation practice. We can then take what we have learned in meditation and use it to respond to our daily lives in a straightforward and creative way, guided not by concepts or dogma, but by direct insight into the reality of the present moment.

Iberia Parish is one of the oldest settlements in the state of Louisiana, with a long and important history. Bergerie has condensed this history into a readable and informative book. The author obtained, from the archives at Seville, Spain, copies of permits for the settlement of the Attakapas Country by Spanish immigrants, as well as copies of the correspondence between the Spanish officials, and particularly letters from Francisco Bouligny to Galvez. They Tasted Bayou Water is a result of the writer's interest in the history of her home parish, an interest that was stirred early in life by tales of family and local history.
