The other video I mention on Zendo decorum is this one, from our "Always Beginners" video Series:

I will be joining you all asynchronously this week - making this Zazenkai my "Saturday evening sit" after my classes are finished tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it, and to being with you "live" in my heart this evening!

Thank you everyone. I sat with you this morning.

One of the fun aspects of Treeleaf. I sat listening to Jundo’s birds while listening to the rain on my window pane.
