Highlights: It's raining and windy here at Jikoji Zen Center, where I've returned for my 1 year anniversary of having first stayed here last year starting 1/22. What a year. I hope to spend a good deal of time this week reflecting on the path that I've been on, contemplate the steps I'm taking next, but more than anything, stop thinking about what was and what might be and just enjoy the present moment. I think that's slowly sinking in as the baseline state of 'awakening' - not being caught in thought, but being engaged and atuned to every moment, in the moment. It's far easier said than done, that's for sure. But it's rewarding as hell when it happens. That'll be my focus for the week. That and all the things I hope to get addressed onsite this week with network issues, documentation, processes, blah blah blah.
