Good morning friends. It’s an early start to my Sunday. Awoke at 130am this morning! Just noticed we received about an inch of snow overnight! Lovely! What do you have planned for the day?

-5°F this morning by the river in Kenai, Alaska. This is your unsolicited Alaskan weather report. #alaska #kenai #shinbuddhist

For 26 years I’ve been asked “do you meditate?” My answer is always “no, i can’t sit still long enough!”

Being Buddhist is a hell of a ride! Do you agree?

Even my “poetry” is messy. I like to write Elfjes. Little poems consisting of 11 words. Written in the form of 1 word, 2 words, 3 words, 4 words, 1 word. Give it a try.

My mother passed away recently. I envision her being welcomed into the Pure Land. Even this foolish daughter will be welcomed one day. I have no fear.

Good morning. I’m sitting here with a cat on my lap and a cup of coffee in my hand. Namu Amida Butsu

Embraced and never abandoned by Compassion and Wisdom. Enough said.
