Highlights: Waking up to the sunrise, slightly. Sitting Zazen, loosely. Going to Jikoji to complete a long list of action items, partially. Successfully collaborating on ways to get me in a paid position. Cardzmania and punting a jazz concert due to time constraints and competing priorities.
Insights: I am happy I went up to Jikoji today. It was needed, and I knew it needed to be done. It reminded me of my intentions and the rewards of giving my time and energy to a place and a space that fulfills a need. It looks promising that I will get on the payroll soon—nothing significant, but with limited time demands. I am inspired to get more time onsite again, which died down over the past year, and may be a factor in my stall, irritation and apathy. Going onsite regularly once or twice a week and setting reasonable time boundaries would do me good. As would some revenue. It feels right when I think of what I could accomplish and gain by being more invested. There is something here for me.
