Hello Jordan,

I second what Kev said, I too hope your days pass quickly and safely!

My husband works for the Federal prison system...unfortunately, his tour doesn't end for another 12-15 years. :lol: I'm trying to turn him to the Zen side of things...he could use it.

Gassho,

Re: Some advice for my children

Emma will be three in December. Even at her age, I think she can appreciate much of what is written here, particularly

Learn to appreciate the quiet places of the earth. Go out and listen to mother nature from time to time.

When I was quite young, I remember returning from my grandmothers funeral and thinking about where it is that I was before I was born. I recall thinking that I couldn't remember, but it seemed quite comforting.

This seems as good a place as any to inform you all that a new little one has joined our family, Kaisei was born three sleepless weeks ago.

And to Jordan, if you have to get redeployed I pray it is to Hawaii.

To Kelly, here is something to check out http://www.dhammabrothers.com/film.html
I think Erik mentioned this here months ago

Louis,

Omedetto Gozaimasu! (or as we say in Sanskrit, Mazeltov)! Congratulations!!!

I take it that Kaisei is a Japanese name? Which Kanji did you choose?

Re: Some advice for my children

thanks everyone.
Kaisei's name uses the characters for Oar and Live.
We let his grandparents (Zeyde and bubbie in sanskrit?) pick the characters.
