I'll see you all soon.
It took me a few times to get the scheduled youtube video to "take", and hangouts was down periodically yesterday. If the wheels fall off and we cannot stream "live" to youtube tonight, I'll post a recording after the Zazenkai. But hopefully everything will be fine.
Gassho,

El día es ordinario
en la casa ordinaria
eh, canto de los gorriones
¿Qué decían por la mañana?
cada minuto florece
The day is ordinary
in the ordinary house
Hey, song of the sparrows
What did they say in the morning?
every minute blooms

I also appreciated the warm wave to all of us sitting later, yet with you -- it was a nice way to start a recorded Zazenkai.

Sat today and lah.
My Ango has taken yet another detour but it's still just chopping wood and carrying water. To be honest this years Ango is so much more for its unexpected return to very real life stuff.
Deep bows to everyone for their efforts

I have hit the wall I sit and stare at!
Sorry to miss Saturday, my apologies to all.
A friend has been diagnosed with cancer and been given two weeks to live. I went to the hospice over the weekend and photographed the gathering and a made a portrait of Paul. (His request - I'm a photographer)
I sat for the first time in 9 days today - I can't seem to face the cushion. Any advice?
I wrote this after seeing him :
sorrow.
I tried to shield my eyes
with laughter.
yet I too
became
autumn leaves.

So sorry for your friend and for you Brett! It’s a very honorable thing you’re doing, visiting and honoring his wish to have a portrait taken. Sit with the heartache Brett, if you can manage to get yourself on the zafu, or just sit with it off the zafu it the need be. There’s nothing to be done but to accept it and the fleeting nature of existence, to recall the times spent together and to remember whether we are here physically or not, our existence, however short or long, has had an impact on everything and even when we’re gone we just continue as part of everything else, physically and especially through our interactions, the memories we create, the things we said, the joy we brought or pain we caused, our children, friends that will remember us etc

Brett, being with your friend was your Zazen and Ango for a time, facing the Great Matter of Life and Death. Now you have come back, but never really left.
We will dedicate Metta and all our sitting these days to Paul, his family and friends who love him.
