One Great Day

Well as is my usual Sunday routine I went to the Aikido Center in Arcata, Ca. to sit with the Arcata Zen Group : (AZG) as they are known. Wow! what a great group of people . How fortunate I am to live in an area where there is such a great sangha. We had a fabulous well being ceremony followed by oryoki training for our upcoming sesshin next Saturday , Feb.23, 2008. If your ever in Arcata, look us up and come and sit awhile we would be glad to meet you! Really nothing special happened with me today, just my path opening right in front of me and walking it with total LOVE and Awarness. As crazy as it sounds, the ZEN way of life although not easy is so much more wonderful, peaceful,loving,blessed, and SANE than anything I've ever done . It truly is complete detachment from all delusion . Your life and mind both come into line and you discover the riches you already possess. What's better than that? All of life is change and peace and freedom are always available--so simple and yet so powerful ! No Holy places only Holy moments like this ONE! I love you my brothers and sisters . Be Well

This Magic Moment

Well I haven't had any post this year, so it's about time to get this new year going. Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day ! Loving Life,Letting Go , and enjoying this beautiful moment unparelled peace and contentment . Real freedom is found in our hearts and minds and not in outside cicumstances. Really it is so much simpler to live in this moment, grasping at nothing, with no fixed ideas nor desired outcomes, and meet life with total awareness and pure LOVE , then watch what happens. It gets much easier when when you get rid of that TV and just rest in the freshness of this moment . Detachment from delusion feels right and very restful. Well I'm off to the zendo tommorow
and I hope to have more post in this coming year . Peace and Blessings!
