Tired but happy after tough sesshin. We were given lots of 40 minute zazen periods to challenge us. I manged those ok but I'm not sure I will have the stamina to cope with all the physical challenges I face away from my home environment in the future. I think every sesshin is my last one but still seem to be doing them...
Welcome back, Zen, glad you found joy in the sesshin!
No fixation . . . as Eos reminded us yesterday. I tried to work with that this morning, as part of my ongoing time investigation practice, seeing everything as unsubstantial, as reflections, appreciating their ephemeral nature.
Checking in, welcoming back. Staying with the movements of family back and forth, contributions to various projects, meanwhile sense of the fullness we're walking in....
Returning, returning...our simple meditation practice.....

☂ Many Happy Returns!
