                    I am finding that my first response to wanting to go through Jakai this year might be premature. In reading so many posts, and knowing there is so much I don't know. I have overestimated what I know, and since there is no reason to speed up the process, I am probably going to wait until I feel more secure in my under of Zen, and especially Buddhist ideals to decide until next year to study for Jakai. The is so much in these posts that I would be better to wait until I know more. There is no objection to allowing me to be a member and read more about exactly what Jakai is. So for now I can read here in Treeleaf, and other sources before I make the final decision. There is just so much I do not know, and I'm learning.

                                Again thank you for your encouraging words. I am cautious because I don't want to appear as one not committed to this path. My wife has suggested that I wait though she applauds my calmer appearance, and she noticed that I have a more realistic attitude about pain. She has suggested I rediscover my poetry and photography. I tend to dwell in health issues too much. The point is to lighten my approach to life. Nothing absolutely needs to be done in this moment. I am not needing to break any speed records.
