Our family had to say goodbye to one of our furry family members this morning. We got him as a pup in 2008, a few years before we started our family of 3. It is a hard thing sometimes to say goodbye to those we love. Even when they are our pets. Charlie was a good boy. He will be missed.

I'm sorry for your loss, Kyotai.
Charlie was beloved, and it is so important for him.
May he now be free from suffering and at peace.
Metta to Charlie, to you and all your family. I'm sitting for all of you.

Very severe, tornadic storm that just missed us yesterday afternoon. We got grazed by another one later at midnight. Didn't know the storm was that bad when I took the photo standing on my lawn - got a phone call from my mom telling me to take cover shortly after snapping and uploading the photo to Instagram.

We had a lovely day out in southern Sweden today. This photo is from the Torup Castle, a 15-minute drive from my place.

That is skillfully random Tai Shi...I like the swoosh of the swingometer from grandiose Torup Castle to humble mailbox
Where next folks?!...it's about the journey not the destination...

View from back yard. At 10’clock is my chicken coup and then the sun. At about 2’clock directly above the neighbor’s home is a small unidentified round object.

Surprised by how big the Nishijima book translated by Jundo is. Just received it.

Little trivia on that. We published under the Treeleaf Publishing label, but through the Amazon self-publishing service. Someone who is not so good with math and measurements (me) clicked the wrong button for cover size. I did not realize that I had ordered the jumbo (as we used to say, "phonebook size") version until it arrived.
Anyway, it is certainly "large print" for ease of reading.

Alas, it is technically an Amazon publication. There is an older edition, but the 2015 "Expanded" (not with regard to the giant cover ) edition has an added section on my Dharma Grandpa, Niwa Zenji. Blackwell seems to have a copy, as does this place in UK ...

But these days, even some of these places are secretly owned by Amazon: Such appears to be the case for "Book Depository," although not for Blackwell.

Detail of one of the many imperial roof decorations ("walking beasts") which adorn the palaces and buildings inside Beijing's Forbidden City. The first figure is a man riding a phoenix.
