This session returned to the experience I only got to the edge of exploring in my recording a couple nights ago and delved in deeply alongside some loving admiration of passages from Shunryu Suzuki’s “Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind” and Dogen-zenji’s “Genjokoan”. I really tried to express some key ideas of non-attachment and sitting within calm presence, even in the heart of painful desires.
