That moment when you miss the first bell during a sit and look at your buddy like "why didn't you get me.... thought you had my back".
Terra always sits with us. Sometimes in view, sometimes not. She can be sleeping on the couch and hear the bell ring and will come trotting in to sit. This time she must have been really asleep, and totally missed the bell.

Sat today. Lent a hand. Gassho.
No merit. Vast emptiness; nothing holy. I don't know.
It is a rare sight I suppose since I don't get to join the zazenkai's live... and when I do I'm just a tiny square.
Terra is pretty special, and in my mind definitely part of the Treeleaf family. I swear she knows Jundo's voice because she will climb in my lap and look at the screen to see him.

These are beautiful, glorious, interesting, and funny.
I am a photographer, but have never figured out how to reduce photos in size for the pages of our Zendo. I should say, I am an armature photographer and know some things, but sometimes I don't know much. Thank you all. I don't type well, finger, thumb, and my arm gets tired typing, so sorry--good stuff.

Some Koans are not great mysteries ...
"Rakusu" (絡子) literally means "abbreviated" Kesa. It expresses that tracks are just suits, suits precisely tracks.Rak-Su are a British boy band, formed in Watford. The band's name is a shortening of "Tracks v. Suits", i.e. "music and fun vs. adult life."[1]
