    Inch by inch,
    Row by row,
    Gonna make this garden grow.


    I was reminded of this song by David Mallett, sung here by John Denver and a few friends:


    Gassho,
    Nengei
    Sat today. LAH.
    遜道念芸 Sondō Nengei (he/him)

    Please excuse any indication that I am trying to teach anything. I am a priest in training and have no qualifications or credentials to teach Zen practice or the Dharma.

      Amongst the dark clouds
      Peeks of sun
      Follow a warm smile


      Joy is contagious. Smile more.


      Gassho,
