A much needed Zazenkai this weekend following the loss of a friend a few days ago. Impermanence can be so subtle but death is always a stark reminder that immediately brings it to mind. Thank you for your wonderful dancing, although I confess I am still too self conscious to join in - need to lose that self but its taking time. Anyway made me smile and think of this.

A dance of smiles, a dance of tears. Yes, Seishin?
We dedicate today to your friends and all who suffer loss in illness.

Just sat this one. Thanks everyone. To those who object to dancing during a serious zazenkai I say this: We can dance if we want to. We can leave your friends behind, because your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance then they're no friends of mine.
Sat today the Weekly Zazenkai with you all.
Thank you Jundo, Shokai, Miku-chan and everyone for this joyful Zazenkai.
You were not wrong to call it a samba. Bossa nova is a daughter of samba. Indeed this melody’s name is “Samba de uma nota só” (“One note only samba”). So samba and bossa nova are not two, not one...
