Theme: Comes Spring

Green arises everywhere. Trees bud and bloom.

We’re back in the chapel/zendo for meditation practice. There’s been a guest in the Merton Retreat for the past five weeks. The front room is in the final stages of repair and reconstruction and will serve as a guest-room with its own bathroom and own entrance.

We’ll have four Fridays of the Sandokai a poem by the eighth-century Zen master Sekito Kisen. These sessions will be led by Tom and Lee.

As a hermitage we continually keep in mind all our brothers and sisters, all sentient beings, and pray that whatever helpful grace or benefit arises from our practice will go out to each to help on your journey.

Life yearns for Itself.

With love,

Peace, and what is, good!
