Others have been heroes. I can do likewise- The Admonitions of Master Guishan

@MrGoat @Dbot But can you leave your cares behind?

I may have slightly underestimated the ability to step down, but things are beginning to go a little lighter. This week is going to end up being a kind of calibration week as I get the house ready and a practice established.

Each day is going a little smoother!

@CherNohio Have a wonderful time!

Good morning groovy souls!

It is a beautiful blue sky day. The morning is warm and full of possibility.

It's time to own this Wednesday! I am off to the gym.

I'm excited that I am getting into a more settled and routine time.

May bright blessings find each of you this day!

Good Afternoon groovy souls!

My buddy has been discharged, and we have just hit the downshift. Other than falling down the stairs this morning (I'm ok) It's been a very rad time!

I've been cleaning, scrubbing and did 1.5 hours at the gym, getting back to weights along with cardio! Tomorrow I should be on my normal 2 hour routine. I'm so stoked.

Now, this afternoon. I'm hoping to rest a bit, take some time to chill outside of requests.

@MLClark I am looking forward to being around Coso more. That is the hope. I also want to tend to my badly neglected writing.

The last month has had so many joys, but some time to focus in on my people and my work is welcome!

@MLClark

I’m on my own tonight. My buddy came through surgery ok. My life has finally downshifted back to roughly where it was when I left Newport News

Schedules should stabilize now, I’ll adapt my daily system to it and for about a month there should be some stability

It’s been a while. These last 2 weeks that were supposed to be a coda became instead a building crescendo to today’s fortissimo.

Now, hopefully there will be a bit more time and quiet. I’m willing, this is the way, but a touch weary.

Good morning groovy souls!

I’m in a hospital waiting room as my buddy is having surgery. After today things should settle into recovery.

Dad is being discharged today with a heart monitor for 30 days. All tests show no anomalies or disorders with his heart.

It’s been busy but good! Onward, toward the dawn!

@BosmangBeratna @q00w2 I got it from @Vozy and Thich Nhat Hanh

@White_Rabbit but Buddhism is non dualistic. There can be no compassion without suffering. They inter are. Without mud there can be no lotus. There can be no flower without compost.

Arrived Richmond Virginia!

@stueytheround I got you covered bud.

@KunninGit thank you orc friend. Happy raiding.

@Tacitus_Kilgore this is the way!

You are all such incredible folks. Thank you for showing such love and compassion!

Mom called. They are at the hospital. Dad may have had a minor heart attack or cardiac event. He has chest pains and the like, is currently in afib.

He is ok and receiving great care. This is likely due to a medication he just started.

I am ok and he is ok but I’ll keep you all updated. Hoping he’ll be discharged by Monday.

Arrived in Denver!

Though security, at my gate and getting ready to board. Air Hare!
