Does Shikantaza equal full trust in life itself?

Writing must instruct and beautify
Writing is the essence of humankind
Speech in many diverse places, but reading and writing for all to be.

Dear Jundo, this is a brief continuation of previous comment. Since 1990, three years later, I was forced out of places I loved, the former a graduation from academia with terminal degrees (sounds like diseases). The later was leaving higher education as teacher except for two extep classes. I found my ground without tenure in sporatic part-time positions. I ended my careers with S.S.D.I. (disability) payments and fast food joints. I am now on Social Security, Medicare, and my wife's insurance. Her houshold support in her pensions makes us secure. Marjorie is the true heroin in our lives. Soon I will finish my third book. Since 2009, I have devoted myself to health recovery, this Zendo, and writing; only a lay person here, I hope I am a good person, and good poet. Maybe I will finish four books in my writing career, maybe not. "The best laid plans of mice and men gang oft a glay." according to Robert Burns. Excuse what my auto correct says are 9+ errors. Jundo my length is fomidible. For this, I appoligize again. Another history, for the benifit of young, maybe "Dukah," unfolds in one of the poetry threds. I am "Teacher, Poet, Lover, Friend" according to my loving wife. You, Jundo, are one of the four best teachers I have encountered, the other three professors. Thank you, may I call you friend?

Ghosh, yes I get it, and for posterity, thank you for copying what I deleted. Someone is reading here in the corners of our Forum.
