And, whatever you do to call on a higher power - be it prayer, spells, chanting, or simply pausing with an open heart and a positive thought, please do so for Ed today.
Any amount you can spare - from $5 to $5000 - will be used with gratitude.

I'm posting the Go Fund Me link here, as well as a link to his online gallery. I'm asking you, as a personal favor, to consider supporting him through one of these two links.

Which is why I hope you'll join me in offering any support you can to help with the costs of his medical concerns. You may not know him, but if you are looking for a way to do something good for someone else right now, know that this is it.

There are days when he logs into our online programs and meetings, and you can tell he's weary and struggling, but he participates with joyful enthusiasm and refuses to make anything 'all about him'.

I'm honored to call him a friend and a teacher.

I know Ed through my Zen community, Appamada. He lives in another state, but he is one of the most consistent participants in our online programming. He's also a brilliant photographer and poet, and he leads our Thursday night Zen Writing Group.

I'm a tinned fish n00b. Currently taking recommendations if you have any favs!

No contest.

Beautiful people, beautiful scenery, beautiful writing, leather pants... What's not to love?

Then we had to come back to this world because we had to accomplish a "project" but we were promised in one year we could return there.

I was so disappointed to leave that place but also, so happy to know I was going to go back someday.
