I would say that today was a highly productive work day. In fact, I think will. Today was a highly productive work day. Day one of my working-retreat at the Zen Center. I got a bit of retreat in during the morning and a good chunk of tasks managed thereafter. Zoom reworking, calendars, iPad setup, and of course every task uncovered other tasks to tackle. But I am enjoying the time and opportunity to be here, and to "be here now". The morning meditation was a struggle but the evening one was good. Lauren called with some news about the Res med recall from In 'n Out with Rosa, who said "hi" in the background. It was nice, as Lauren tends to sorta clam up on calls when she's with friends. It seems. Tommy also called a couple of times to share and discuss his conversations and opportunities with Dr. Trager. He has a great rapport and the dr. really want to help him grow through some classes and advancement. It's quite a stunning scenario. Also had a good call with Bryan about the board position and I remain optimistic that it will pan out. I'm not saying anything to anybody at Jikoji at this point because it's still hust talk and if it does come about I won't want it to effect anything regarding my practice and participation in the Sangha.
