    Ahhh, you're scheduled for every day. Wonderful! I'll put it on my calendar, and probably join more often than not.

            Thank you, Bion and everyone. This sit is helpful for Ango. Bion, I'm glad summer is over for you. I hope the mild weather lasts.

                Hello friends,

                One of my Ango commitments every year is to extend my usual daily sit and to add a second sit to each day. This year I thought it might be a nice thing to invite everyone to sit with me or maybe just keep the zendo door open while I´m in, so we´ve added a new scheduled sit on the calendar, starting this Saturday, after our Monthly Zazenkai marking the beginngin of Ango, from 8 PM Madrid time, 7 PM London, 2 PM New York, 11 AM Los Angeles, (for other time zones, the calendar magically adjusts, as you know) in our Scheduled Sitting Room

                I don´t mean for this to be a terribly formal affair, so if the time suits you and you are up for a shorter than usual evening / mid-day sit, I´d be happy to sit with you and keep the time. We´ll be sitting for 25 minutes. If you should come by please already have your okesa or rakusu on if you have one, since we won’t be reciting the kesa verse. I hope we sit together a lot during this Ango.

                For more details (including a timezone-converter / selector) see the calendar on Treeleaf NOW: https://www.treeleaf.org/now/#calendar
