An Unexpected Practice

With palms together,


Good Morning Everyone,



This sunrise was the challenge! we woke late, did the short, quick bicep/triceps workout, used zazen, as well as talked with K. Then off for the travel in Pioneer Womens Park before zazen at 9:00. Walking, or should we say stumbling, around my futon, we jammed my thigh into the wooden edge. Pain. Then off to the park. Suki was the madwoman dog. Running hard after every bird, every leaf, all which remotely looked like fun to chase. We did the path of the play ground as well as we detected my keys were not where we usually put them as well as we had forgotten my cell phone in the suffering of the bruised thigh. So, an additional path of the play ground to demeanour for the mess of keys. No luck.



All the whilst we am practicing: notice the anger, notice the panic, notice the pique over the detriment of my change as well as memory. Notice the beautiful sky, cloudy as well as profound with rain. Notice as well as take an additional step, as well as another.



At the car, we looked once again in my shoulder bag. Good grief. There they were in the pocket we never make use of for keys!



Starting the automobile as well as driving back to the Temple we felt deep service as well as the clarity of gratitude for the use of Zen. While Suki took up chateau on the zabuton in the zendo, we lit the stick of incense as well as bowed deeply.



Be well.Zen knowledge for daily living.
