I don't know if this is is the place to post this. It seems that lately we all have been living the ancient Chinese blessing which is also a curse. "May you live in interesting times." I am not the best poet in the world as I am not an maybe the best or worst member of Treeleaf Sangha. I can be a good poet when I am moved as I am this morning. I don't know who the woman was in our zazen, and I wore my rakusu, and rang the bell, which is my second best bell, a Tibetan bell, with less sound than the beautiful Japanese bell my daughter gave me some years ago when I joined Treeleaf. Ah, it was a Christmas Present 2014, my first two months behind me, a part of my third and I was Elgwyn for that is my middle name. Today I celebrate family, and it seems appropriate since we are at the center of Covid 19, and there are all kinds of families. I love my families. Of course I have a real family and they are not always so proud of me. I had one 12 step meeting, and three Treeleaf Zendo Shikantaza, and I felt a part of something bigger than me. and This morning is 3/21/2020. I can wear my rakusu for someone else and ring the bell for someone else, and feel deep inside True Gratitude for her, for our 10 a.m. sit. Deep Bows
