- Morning Zazen (45 Min @ 0630)
- Cut my zazen a few minutes shorter today due to meetings. Still more than normal, but not the 60 I've been doing. All good though!
- Sat with Roky, Bob & Morelos on G+.
- Dana
- Finished up the North Texas Food Bank food drive and delivered the food.
- All told I was able to raise 45 cans of food for a total of 46lbs. Not sure how much this feeds but happy I was able to do it.
- When I dropped off the food at the food bank it was in South Dallas. Which is a low income area of town. I saw people sleeping under bridges, hanging out on street corners and overall just a rough area. Really set in perspective the people that probably benefited from the drive.
- While I was at the food bank, a lady came in asking about eggs & milk. Apparently she had stopped by to pick up some food and was lacking these items. It really made me feel like I wish that I could do more. Seeing the need with my own two eyes really brought it home.
- Shakuhachi
- Had my lesson today with Jon and it went pretty well.
- Choshi was an improvement, however I did struggle again with Ha-Ro couplet.
- We continued on Daiwagaku and Jon seemed quite impressed that I was able to play the peak of the piece.
- He explained that many students have a hard time with anything in kan register and this phrase was actually in daikan (next one up).
- Seems my only nemesis at the moment is Ha-Ro in kan...I think because I keep dropping back down to otsu with the Ro.
- No studies today. :(
- Evening Zazen
- Sat with Chris, Will & Nat on G+
- Was first time to get to sit with Will!
- I did it with my Android device and it seemed to work ok. Only problems were that I couldn't re-share it nor add comments.
