READY
This device programed specifically to join in Zendo Zoom sessions and hand delivered two days ago by my dharma brother, Alex Godin
IT WORKED!
IT WORKED!
First the bell, then dedication, then Zazen (sitting), then
Sensei Koshin gave a Dharma talk about the weight of all the sorrow and fear that pervades currently, his and every ones. Next there was time to connect individually and I lost picture but retained sound for a while until 7:09, when the device told me I was out of battery time. So, I'm currently charging first my camera battery and will leave the device charging overnight. I intend to participate again Wednesday and Friday.
'Teddy' and 'Little Bear' attended as well.
Koshin read a poem by Rilke which I can't find, but I've been on a Rilke search since. I first read 'The Duino Elegies" way back in the late fifties or early sixties, but not since. I'll ask Koshin for the poem.
Meanwhile, here's a quote I like:
“Let everything happen to you
Beauty and terror
Just keep going
No feeling is final”

Midnight
Walking meditation to the 24 hour Supermarket 6 blocks West. No one anywhere till I got there. Bought some groceries and carried the heavy bag oh so slowly, halting every block to breathe deeply. Shot these tulips two ways when I was within two blocks of my building. My legs were shaking all the way up the three flights. Then I sanitized each purchase and stored them in various containers. I washed the gloves, my hands, some clothes and sprayed the bottom of my shoes. 2:45 a.m. finished. I think I'll sleep well.

so happy for the Zoom thing, whatever it is, that you Zoomed...
so so happy
i think....how could it possibly be, that she cruizes the city
in the NIght...i am so NOT a night person...need DAY, and it is
so opposite me and it fascinates me that you just Go...and go and
go
Glad you were able to connect with your zendo.
We are going to have to call you the Midnight Rambler...:)
