Lizard eggs!
The morning sit has helped me maintain a more consistent practice. Distractions are still worse at home, but the 45 lead time being negated has been welcome. As has having a maintained presence. Next week, I will divide these between Deep Bows and Jikoji, as I have attachments to both. It's always rewarding to participate with each. I pushed back on the accounting need at Jikoji and would still like to be on the board. I got stuff from Costco earlier today, and we took it and a lovely Chardonnay to my mom, who's been given the ok to enjoy wine in moderation. I'm working on getting an e- bike from Santa Cruz tomorrow, I hope it comes together, as I have a feeling that might open up some great summer experiences and work as a cataly st to some creative writing' interests. I was reminded again tonight on a short ride with Mark that our routine daily attention is seldom focused on the wonder of our being at all, but when you stop and take it all in with a reverent and connected respect and gratitude, well, it can really hint of something grander at work. The evening ended with a text invitation to join Mary, Dean, and Tara for an upcoming Mt Winery concert-we are so in!
