ATTENTION: REMEMBER DAYLIGHT SAVINGS! CHECK NEW START TIMES!
However you feel about the American election, and wherever you live in the world, we do not stop working for good.
This is Master Dogen's lesson of "Ongoing Practice Enlightenment."

Winter is Winter, Spring is just Spring, Summer is just Summer, Fall is Fall ...
but if we do not plant seeds in the Spring, there can be no harvest in Summer and in Fall.
