Here at the frontier, the leaves fall like rain. Although my neighbors are all barbarians, and you, you are a thousand miles away, there are still two cups at my table.


Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn, a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter. If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life.

The 2011 Lenten Challenge: One Week To Go!

We have a week left in the Lenten Challenge. For those of you who have managed to keep up with it, good work! The finish line is within sight. For those who have fallen off the path and have become discouraged, there is a week left! Please rejoin us and see it through to the end.

My practice and been strong and my mind is clear and calm. How have you been doing?

A scene from long ago...

Me: "How often should I practice?"
My Tai Chi teacher: "Every day."
Me: "Whoa-a! I dunno ... that's a lot ... I'm pretty busy ... I mean ..."
My Tai Chi teacher: "You breathe every day, don't you? Same thing."
Me: "Oh."

I should have said, "Oh, okay!" Little did I know then that "Every day!" would become an actual force in my life.

"Strong...clear...calm...", eh? Beats the alternative! Sounds like things are going well for you.
