One of my ango commitments is to sit the whole 4hrs worth(I usually only manage to do 1/2). I plan to keep commitment by sitting the rest on Friday(my next day off of work)!!

It's not easy to find a 4-hour chunk of time to be sure! I actually made myself get up at 445am one morning so I could finish the whole thing without messing with the family schedule too much. Made for a sleepy day

Well, there's an enlightened being for you.
:mrgreen:
Really enjoyed the talk today. Sometimes I need to hear the basics again . . . and suddenly sewing all those little rakusu pieces together makes a lot more sense.

I had to laugh at myself.
This was the first time doing Zazenkai with all the company (Google+). I'm used to doing it by myself, watching Jundo. The first hour (and occasionally afterwards), I was like a deer caught in the glare of headlights. Just hanging on for the ride (dance?). I'm telling ya'; "mindfulness" might just as well have been the name of some quaint logging town back in the bush around here. Anyway, I wasn't there.
*edit...but then I guess I am guilty of that when I write posts sometimes, as well. I am sorry for any karma of mine which could cause even discomfort for another person.
Gassho,
Engyo
