A Day

With palms together


Good Morning Everyone,



Tuesday night you had the first Zen 101 organisation meeting. we was not happy with myself. we spoke far as well much. We love to talk about Zen, dont we? Good grief. The good headlines is which after all the articulate you sat for dual periods.



Wednesday morning the Zendo is empty. we sat in the still as well as joined the emptiness. There is only this space, you know, as well as my exhale kept me tighten to home. With it, we centered myself in the here as well as now.



Just as yesterday is though the memory as well as tomorrow the dream, this impulse is the fiction as well. Anything we competence contend about it is not it. Yet difference come from low inside. It can be lonely inside the heads. Words entice thinking as well as thoughts turn company.



We try to shun the present-moment-self with difference as well as ideas. Rather similar to making things up as you go, the universe unfolds in the minds eye. Yet, the way is not to escape, though rather, to live each impulse as it comes as well as as it presents itself as it is. So, you notice the thoughts, notice the feelings, as well as let them go.



So, during the day yesterday we dealt with banks. we dealt with social security, as well as we dealt with my feelings. They have been right away left as well as we remain.



Today: 7:00 AM Zazen, 12:00 Clergy Luncheon, 5:00 PM Dokusan with Student Shoji, 7:00 PM Zazen.



All the while, by the day, you will finish office building small tans (raised platforms) for oryoki (eating meditation).



Be well.Zen wisdom for daily living.
