Had a hard time thinking of someone I disliked when chanting metta today. Guess I'm running out of people. Maybe I should go to the DMV or something. :)
Shobo Study
STILL on Power of the Robe
Today I went through the various sizes and uses.
Also read on the Verse of the Robe. Was a little different than I recite, but I liked the translation a lot!
Shakuhachi Practice
Finally I am starting to have breakthroughs on the upper register
Played each not and held it...requires a much tighter embouchure which means that my mouth starts aching after about 3 notes. :)
Once again, need much more practice.
Looked once again at Monty Levenson's shakuhachi and trying to find more stuff to sell I don't use around the house. I think I have an extra kidney...
Sewing Practice
Finished sewing on the second en and was kinda burnt out. Those corners are very challenging to get correct. Most of the time I find I'm winging it to some degree.
Also marked and cut my material for the rakusu for Jukai.
