Way too busy these days to really write anything.
Running around Texas (well, Austin - Houston, Austin - Rockport) a bunch working with funeral and trying to gather and settle my dad-in-laws estate. Turns out, after 2 months+ of nursing a hurt wrist, my wife's gotta have hand surgery w/ 6 weeks+ recovery time. Still managing zazen most mornings and nights, and reading the dharma a bit here and there. Dropping occasional pithy comments on my freqented blogs. There are a million things I could write about if I had more time... thinking of my usual dharma friends often.

Hi. Welcome.
I strive to share aspects of Buddhism I enjoy or find accessible / interesting. I've taken precepts in the Nishijima lineage of Soto Zen. Buddhism seems to be helpful for a better life, but to my eye is often shrouded in too much weight and mystery, or fluff and fantasy. I'm looking for a middle way.
I hope you find something useful, interesting, whimsical or a-musing. According to blogger, most people end up here because they are searching for a picture of a fish bowl. Go figure...
I am also hoping to contact people of a like mind. That is, open to the exploration of 'self' and 'truth' through Zen. If you react to something written here, I'd enjoy hearing from you. Leave a comment. Comments to older than 14 days are moderated.

Time to write and things to write about don't seem to go hand and hand for me either. The one might just be an anathema to the other.
thanks for the comment sir. :) Many many good thoughts your way as well. *gassho*
Take care, Lauren! Wishing you all the best, Dharmabuddy!
Hi Lauren.
Even if I don't have time for a half hour or twenty mins I still just sit down and do zazen for a few minutes.
In my case this helped establish regular practice. It's not ideal I suppose (but then it is!), but it jumps the divide between thinking it and doing it at least.
I have a buddy from a Tibetan lineage who hits the cushion for several mins whenever he gets a little chance like that.
All the best,
Harry.
Thanks, Harry. I'll give "even just a minute" a try.
Uku, Good to hear (well, read) from you.
