Allow me to reintroduce myself …. Again! On my path of limitless trials and tribulations which leads to infinite growth and healing I’m back to casually and sincerely connect with my spiritual sibling bums I’m not seeking esoteric teachings or practices at this time like I assumed I ought to a month or two ago but I’d love to make some good friends! Being an I Ching hermit for 8 years has been both tiresome and rewarding and I ve finally returned to my lay zen center after 7.5 years away and I think this group could be a great regular complement to that. Thanks to those who tried to respond my last to go rounds and I hope to connect with you more fully this time as well as many more seekers on the path of cultivation and service. Enough wordy elaboration I ll close my new beginning with some Chaung Tzu to sympathetic and appreciative ears: ”Still, his mind remained calm and unconcerned. He hobbled over to a well, looked at himself in the water, and said: ‘It’s incredible! The Maker-of-Things keeps crumbling me up into this embrace!’ ’Do you resent it?’ Asked Adept Offering. ’No why should I resent it?’ replied Adept Cart. ‘If my left arm’s transformed into a rooster, I’ll just go looking for nights end. If my right arm’s transformed into a crossbow, I ll go looking for owls to roast. And if my butts transformed into a horse, I ll just ride away! I ll never need a cart again!” (Hinton) 🥳🤗😁
