I couldn't and still can't get a link to today's zazenkai on any of my devices. So I sat without your virtual presence but I know with your heart presence. Gassho

Please excuse me, for trying to join live late. It was a mistake.
I was so eager to join and was alone with the kids making dinner early for them.
When I finished it was late so I thought I could join after kinhin.
After doing it I realized that if it was a physical meeting I would never, ever, had entered late.
That's why I appeared for a short time during kinhin and then disappeared.
I was trying to watch without turning on my camera, but did it in G+ instead of going to YouTube.
I didn't mean to be disrespectul. I feel embarrassed.

P.S.: I finally sat on Saturday, early in the morning, but was kind of distracted by the screen.
I will have to put it in another position next time, and get used to this way of sitting.
While it is best to sit start to finish, and not come in and out ... nonetheless, sometimes it happens. Somebody's connection cuts, somebody's neighbor comes to the door, somebody is due in class early, etc. etc. Please do not worry. In fact, I do not think most of us even noticed this happened (I did not). If you can, please do sit start to finish ...
... but always knowing there is no starting or finishing, coming or going.
Do not face the screen. Face the wall, drop the screen from mind. The screen is ultimately not distracting, but your mind is.
