Uhm...

[Stephanie]

Hi, everyone.

Sorry for what was perhaps a rude departure from the forum a couple of months ago, I just realized a bit late that my mental vibe at the time and the vibe of the forum were not making for a nice harmony...

But while I'm probably still as crazy as I was two months ago, my mood is somewhat less dark and I have some extra time and energy for omphaloskepsis, so I thought I'd drop back by.

Feel free to razz me, I probably deserve it :wink:

cheers,

Stephanie

Re: Uhm...

Um, Harry, is "Zen" that feeling you get when you're eating YoplaitTM yogurt? 'Cause I'm confused. Oh, and sorry about the wall-staring thing, I'm sure that a few sleepless nights in the dojo will fix you right back up.

Gassho!!!

:lol:

Omphaloskepsis is the contemplation of one's navel as an aid to meditation

BTW-- I just noticed that your location had changed to Bristol, VA. I grew up in Johnson City, TN . . . used to play a lot of gigs in the Abingdon and Tri-Cities. I now live closer to Knoxville (Maryville, TN). Given the spread of this sangha, we're neighbors.

Thanks for the welcomes, all. I'll try to behave this time :wink:

MURVUL! Haha.

Yeah, I'm originally from Bristol, come back here in the summers. Go to Johnson City all the time to do shopping and whatnot. Given that this is my last year before graduating grad school and hopefully moving on to a full-time career, this is probably the last time I'll do this, at least for more than a few days at a time. Weird to think about.

Hi Stephanie,

I liked Jitzo's vow and Jundo's interpretation also.

Welcome back.
