Thank you everyone.

Here is a little poem that came in today's sitting.

The inner part of the tree
was nurtured by the spring
by the summer, by the autumn
and the winter.

And the inner part of the tree
knows what to do in the winter,
knows what to do in the spring,
knows what to do in the summer,
knows what to do in the autumn.

All the roots, branches,
fruits and flowers
are contained
in the inner part of the tree.

Nurtured by mentors
like seasons,
in the inner part of the tree
mentors and ancestors are sitting
with us.

Thank you everyone. I sat with you this morning.

I appreciated the story about Doshin Cantor and his impact on Treeleaf. I had assumed that most of the ceremony came from Nishijima Roshi.
