Just jump in if joining, no "catch up" ... just today is today ...

I will include chapter headings, as we discovered some differences between the US and UK editions regarding chapter order.

Chapter 95 - Listen For The Voice Of Your True Self - Find a small stone with a shape which appeals to your heart. Examine the stone closely and imagine it as a mountain, with a straw hut or temple on that mountain. Imagine for some moments that you are wandering across that mountain, or sitting Zazen within that hut or temple. Feel the reality of the experience.

Chapter 96 - Cherish Being Alive Every Single Day - Every once in awhile, slap your hand or knuckles lightly on a table and, with the noise, recall the amazing fact that you are alive, right here right now, wherever that is.

Gassho, J
