This Holiday Shopping Season: We Don't Really Need "Zen Stuff"

[serenewolf]

Last year when my grandma passed away we sold our house and moved into an rv to do some travelling. We had to get rid of a lot and i am so glad we did. Learning to live without excess has been a valuable lesson. This will be our first holiday season without gifts and we are very happy for that. I am still learning about the various holidays and traditions and want to say thank you for sharing your stories, traditions, and knowledge and i hope everyone has a great season.

I love that you got married on the Solstice Sen! Beautiful.
Being anarchists, my partner and I chose May Day as our significant day almost 15 years ago now. Each year we listen to Paul Robeson and other music with a revolutionary spirit, and try to find some quiet time to reflect on the blessing of our paths crossing when they did.
Happy anniversary Sen, may you and your husband continue to grow together.
For anarchy and peace

Thank you, Anna! My husband and I have had the pleasure of learning a bit about anarchist philosophy through the YouTube channel Philosophy Tube and we both find it to be very compelling. I think I can see how Zen would be a natural fit for an anarchist! And I love that your special days are in May which is a wonderful month for many reasons - including the weather (I believe that's why some Celtic cultures considered May to be the beginning of Summer).
