Japanese dawn.
A short talk on a line from Sandōkai, a short poem written by Sekito Kisen (700-790), a Chinese Zen ancestor.
I see that I’ve talked about this part of the scripture before, back in podcast episode 32. I think it’s worth revisiting this subject, so I’ll go ahead and post this.
Feeling grateful for the returning light.
Victoria
Walking on the reserve, after some time away on retreat. Contains geese.
I’m on the ridge walk again. I’m trying to get my fitness back ready for a trip up to Throssel. This is just a quick update.
I wondered where the name for “stent” came from. The images in the wikipedia page on stents are fascinating.
Just a quick message. I’m still here, and I’ll be continuing the podcasts soon.
Back home after a retreat.
The game’s afoot.
5,500 years.
Birdsong, and the constancy of It.
Back on the ridge walk, feeling gratitude and potential.
The lake
Thoughts after listening to a talk by Brad Warner, called The Zen Butterfly Effect
Thoughts good habits and simplicity. Contains crows.
Message me on Twitter if you have any questions or thoughts. I’m @jwelby.
End of day
Back at the lake, and thinking about just being.
Sunset
My first walk for a while. This is about keeping things simple.
