What they said...thank you for the time and effort needed to share your zen with us. It was a great read!

Perhaps an emergency mattress for any future shorts?

Thank you for your post Daikan.

I was just thinking last night after a really good day that my zazen practice was kicking in to help ground me from being to overjoyous. After typing that, and thinking back to all the good news yesterday, it didn't phase me too much at all actually.

Which is similar, I think, to what you said about; "Zen is about being where you are in every moment good, bad,or neutral."

I've had this experience of being present, and thankfully calm due to practice while people yelled at me because they can't get their way. Or worse, pleasantly making mean comments. I've also had to do first aid on people in really bad emotional times, and my practice seems to kick in whether I recognize it or not.

I'm grateful that your experiences with zazen have echoed my experiences as well.

All the best

Thanks
