Flowers fall even if we love them
Weeds grow even if we hate them

I think we are all teachers . . . we all leave our mark on those around us, whether we mean to or not. Deaths help me remember to not underestimate my responsibility to and impact on the folks around me. They are my teachers, and I am theirs.

To all us teachers,
Gassho,

Lovely Eika....

Firewood has become ash...yet I still feel her warmth.

Joko Beck's books have helped me to sustain a daily sitting practice and have helped me to both relax and persevere.
I am grateful for her life.

“Practice has to be a process of endless disappointment. We have to see that everything we demand (and even get) eventually disappoints us. This discovery is our teacher.”

Wonderful
