Today in Tompkins Square Park I saw Amelia again working on her nest. Over near the Ave A playground was a young male red tailed hawk, presumably her new partner, but he acts inexperienced so far.

I have a new article up about my visit to Gotanjoji, a newish Sōtō Zen temple in Echizen City, Japan, known informally as a cat temple. It honors the late 13th century Zen monk Keizan Jōkin 瑩山紹瑾, who was born in Echizen and was, I discovered, instrumental in opening Zen to women. onlylove.art

On a visit to Gotanjoji, a new Sōtō Zen temple in Echizen City, Japan, I learned of the work of 13th century monks who had opened Zen to women. Gotanjoji was now extending the practice to cats!

ETHNIC CLEANSING IS A WAR CRIME

“The establishment of the ICC reinforced the links between ethnic cleansing and other offenses such as genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. …The ICC made clear that ethnic cleansing could constitute all three offenses….” — Britannica

50501 is a decentralized rapid response to the anti-democratic, destructive, and, in many cases, illegal actions being undertaken by the Trump administration. Can I count on the senator to support us either in person or by sharing and elevating our movement?

I have a new article up on onlylove.art.

This was the only night I could conceivably visit Kanazawa, and fatefully, Sinikka Langeland was performing at the historic Mokkiriya jazz cafe and live house, founded in 1971, on this night, on tour from Norway.
