November 13-14 Treeleaf Weekly Zazenkai -FRIDAY the 13th!- Remember Daylight Savings!
Thank you Jundo, Washin and everyone. Always a favorite way to close out my week. Love these opportunities to sit with you all (those who did, have and will).
Thank you all for this sitting, Krista and Soyozen73 for interesting stories. I'm not really superstitious but definitely have an exaggerated need of being in control. Learning to let go, every day, bit by bit.
It's a funny old world. Friday the 13th is seen as a lucky day in Italy, as is the number. But it is Tuesday the 13th which is unlucky in Spain.
So many labels for so many things, what did folks do before calendars I wonder..............................
Interesting to sit along with this recording at work on a very quiet day.
Home is noisier as it is in the countryside so I'm surrounded by usual farminig noises and the chainsaws of the lumberjacks, if they choose to work on a Saturday morning. An empty concrete and glass school is physically quieter but there are more things around me that provoke stress. Not sure I'd want to do this at work again unless I have to but it was interesting to do it.
I'd alwasy thought that Friday the 13th was unlucky because Jesus was killed on a Friday and he had 12 close followers plus Judas who abandoned him at that time. The ultimate 仏滅 (butsu-metsu) day.
