            Hello Friends,

            Unfortunately, my weekday schedule has suddenly shifted and my ability to sit with y'all at 9:30pm will be sporadic, at best. As such, for at least the next few months, I will not be able to host the Wednesday night zazen period at 9:30pm EST/EDT. If someone else is willing and able to take the Wednesday night slot, I would be eternally grateful.

            That said, my schedule makes it easier to continue sitting with the 7:05am group (hosted by Shokai), but I will miss all of our "weeknight regulars". I will certainly join you when I can.

            Deepest bows,
            Seikan

              Oh man, I’m sorry to hear that. I’d do it if I was able, but I have to pick up my daughter from practice at 8:30 on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Hopefully another one of the regulars can jump in.

                I expect to be there as usual, and can do it unless/until someone else wants to.

                          Hi friends,

                          It is with a heavy heart that I come here to post this. After sitting with this group for 11 years now, I am going to step away as host after this week.

                          I cannot express just how much it has meant to have a home and lovely group of friends to sit with on weeknights.

                          I hope the group can continue, but I also hope nobody feels compelled to take it over. I'm happy to schedule a meeting if any of the regulars (or Unsui) would like to get together to talk about hosts, alternative scheduling, etc.

                          Deep bows,
                          Sekishi

                            Thank you for your service Sekishi. Although I’ve only been sitting with the group for the past 6 months I’ve come to really appreciate the time together. Always nice to see your smiling face and hear your deep chanting voice.

                            I am keen to continue with the 9:30 sitting time if others want to continue. I am not sure if I can commit to hosting. Let’s see if others want to.

                              I will very much miss your calm, cheerful presence. More than once I have come to sit, stressed over something or other, and your friendly greeting always makes me smile and drop my foolish preoccupations at once. I like the 9:30 sitting time as well, and can cover as needed for now if that's useful. With so many regulars, perhaps something can be worked out.

                              Gassho,

                                I would very much like to continue this time as well even though I don’t get to participate as much as I’d like to.
