paper.ink.pen: February 2015

http://paper-ink-pen.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, February 10, 2015. After a few minutes of ordinary catching-up, I mentioned that a mutual friend of ours had felt like I was being short with him lately. I told Ellen that I recognized myself being impatient with him, but that there was no real reason for it, certainly nothing that he'd done and so I had apologized. Ellen was silent for a moment and then she said 'I've felt the same thing, like you're different in the past few months.'. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). More info about energy work and...

paper.ink.pen: September 2014

http://paper-ink-pen.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Monday, September 22, 2014. Engaged buddhism and political activism. On my way to New York yesterday for the People's climate march I fell into a very productive facebook hole that led me to an article someone had posted about Thich Nhat Hanh's perspective on climate change. There are many elements of Buddhist philosophy to study and meditate on but I always come back to compassion. It is a mirror and a teacher in so many ways. Yes if there's violence in the times then. There must be violence in me.

paper.ink.pen: June 2012

http://paper-ink-pen.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Tuesday, June 12, 2012. In 2007, I was traveling in Europe and planned to meet the German Sangha in Hamburg for a week-long teaching by the Dalai Lama. I spent a week at an organic farm in Normandy and then went to Paris for a night before taking the train to Hamburg. You are so brave! In typical zen master fashion, my teacher smiled silently at me and I laughed. 'No, Anna, that part wasn't brave. This part here, this is me being brave.'. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

paper.ink.pen: April 2012

Wednesday, April 25, 2012. He said, with typical levity I attribute to his Irish ancestry, 'If we don't exist anymore, we won't be there to be bothered by that.'. It strikes me as I remember this that some of the best conversations I've had with my dad have occurred while driving somewhere.). Recently I encountered the work of a poet I was immediately struck with, Arundhati Subramanium. Still a bit rattled by the pairing of the words 'faith' and 'buddhism', I did some research. Saddha/sraddha) is an impo...

Monday, February 20, 2012. So, I've recently become addicted to the show Friday Night Lights. Friends of mine have been recommending this show for ages but not being a huge fan of tv, Texas or high school football, I didn't consider it. When Netflix recommended it to me based on my interest in Mad Men, I was curious enough to watch the first episode. What could those two shows possibly have in common? Turns out - they do have something in common. Character development. What would he talk about? The wild ...

paper.ink.pen: the common language

http://paper-ink-pen.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-common-language.html

Thursday, November 1, 2012. I write a little while and watch the people walk by. The cafe is across from L’hotel de Sully and bike tours drive by and stop occasionally. The other day the tour guide said something in English to the group while pointing to the building and a man walked by and yelled ‘C’est pas vrai! 8217; (It’s not true! And chuckled to himself mischievously. February 1, 2013 at 2:09 AM. Sounds like youre living in A Moveable Feast. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). As seen through a dif...

paper.ink.pen: March 2013

http://paper-ink-pen.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, March 2, 2013. If you love someone, the greatest gift you can give them is your presence.'. When you think about our daily interactions, even with those who are close to us, they are usually filled with conversation, activity, individual thoughts about the past or plans for the future, not to mention the endless checking-in with social media. It is incredibly difficult to do what Abramovic did - just be present. And an incredibly powerful experience. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monday, March 19, 2012. When I was 18, I got a tattoo on the inside of my ankle. It's a very simple design, two small flowers intertwined. Any tattoo gotten at age 18 might seem childish and regrettable 16 years later. And it's true that the design is definitely less sophisticated than one I might choose now. Yet the meaning of the design still resonates with me and I actually don't regret having gotten it. The closest I've come to an answer has been through artistic expression. In literature, I'm al...
