- Going Back Out To Burrow Down And Uproot -
Well, in an effort to offer a bit of an explanation for the sudden (b)logorrhea, I dumped all the drafts I was hoping to “finish later”. They probably aren’t quite as helpful as they could have been, but finishing them now isn’t as helpful as doing them properly the first time would have been anyway. Holding on to things just causes problems and distortions. I’d hate to think I was spending the next week trying to release my “grasping mind”, while still holding onto to so much in my “external hard-drive…”
And yeah, now’s probably a good time to mention that I’m heading back to the monastery again, for another meditation intensive. Leaving the apartment as soon as I do some chi kung and shower. A whole week this time, up at 3:55 every morning and no talking until Sunday noon-time. Doing so will hopefully allow me a chance to enroll as a student at the temple here in NYC (for the sake of clarity, I wouldn’t be living there, just attending as a lay student). But we will see how that goes when/if it happens.
Anyway, I should be back in NYC and in communicado on Sunday night.
and yes, I’m using that incorrectly on purpose, damn it, have some linguistical imagination…
Peace out ya’ll, and practice well.
