    Thank you, everyone. I did this zazenkai in two sittings today. The talk about the horses was touching.

    I have a lot to learn; take anything I say that sounds like teaching with a grain of salt.

            Thank you all. I sat with you this morning.

            Lovely talk Shinshi. My niece is passionate about horses and I have heard her say very similar things about riding as you did in your talk. Thank you for letting us into your home.

              Thank you all for your kind words. It was interesting doing the Zazenkai in the horse stall.

              Interesting tidbit - this is the same stall the Jundo cleaned.

                Finally got to sit with this after several days of happy anticipation [emoji1] Shinshi you can add your talk to one of a few that have brought tears for me, as a fellow horse lover it really hit home. The way one communicates so intimately with another being when interacting with an equine… such a beautiful example of interconnectedness, not just across humanity but right across species. And the key point of how horses in particular are such a mirror when we work with them and can teach us so much about ourselves. Lovely [emoji3059]

                Oh yes and thank you Jundo and Leon for cleaning the stall for us [emoji23]

                  So late in responding! I just wanted to thank you, Shinshi, for a marvelous talk. What a lovely Zazenkai.

                  And of course, thank you everyone for your practice [emoji120]

                  Gassho,
