Pebble in a Pond. December 13, 2009. Stillness and Silence: a Zen Buddhist Retreat. I recently attended a three day meditation retreat with Tenshin Roshi, Reb Anderson who is a senior Dharma teacher for the San Francisco Zen Centers. Here are some thoughts and memories from the retreat. I choose a sitting pad and set my zafu, the round meditation sitting pillow on it. I bow to the room and my fellow sangha members in it.

https://cloudhidden.wordpress.com/2010/12/17/a-struggling-and-undisciplined-buddhist-celebrates-the-birth-of-jesus

Yet while a love for the Christmas season has been a constant through my life, I have often wondered, as Charlie Brown does each year in the Peanuts TV Special, if I really know what Christmas is all about?

Pebble in a Pond. March 31, 2011. Nothing seems to dominate the culture wars these days like religion. Defining our spiritual beliefs or asserting our lack of them seems a national pastime. And we aren’t very understandingor niceabout it.

Change your latitude, change your life! The Houses of Pompeii. January 2, 2015. In the ruins of Pompeii there are a range of structures from the small dwellings of its poorer residents to the massive houses of the wealthy. Amazingly the detailed decorations of the houses – fine mosaic flooring and fresco interior walls – remained intact after the eruption.
