Today is the 12th anniversary of the death of my father. A good monastic friend's father also died on this day. I'd like to record a video in remembrance since I'm close to where my dad is buried, and my mother too. As I said in a vid close to the New Year, remembering our parents, appreciating their place in our lives, and expressing our gratitude for the life and nurture they provide is no small thing. It's a good thing. What ever our up-bring we can, at the very least, show gratitude for the opportunity to live a good and beneficial life now. And a huge bow to those who find it near impossible to connect with these words. I am so sorry.

I wrote of the circumstances around my fathers death <a href="http://www.jademountains.net/two-weddings-and-memorial>Two Weddings and A Memorial.</a> Taunton railway station has a special place in my heart. </p>

Contact of a Zen Kind

With palms together Good Morning Everyone, Zen vital requires a in advance reorientation to life. When such a spin happens what was once important no longer seems so; what was once unimportant is right away significant. It is this ostensible turning of life upside down which disturbs some of us, as good as so many of those around us. Conversely, it is what makes life so smashing for those who open their eyes. Yet, it is usually a ostensible turning of things. In truth, it is just a change in where you place a mind. Two short, universal lists: What is significant? A glass of water. A splinter of a moon in a sky. Loving someone; being desired by someone. The taste of things. The feel of things. The smell of things. The sound of things. What is insignificant? Our thoughts about a above. Hurrying to get somewhere. Getting somewhere. Our social status; anothers social status. The sort of car you drive. How far-reaching a TV screen is. That you have a TV in a initial place. We competence cru...
