Wake up rabbit!
New Year’s card by Nyogen Nowak
Nyogen! Thank you for sending me this picture. It woke me up from sleepiness in blog writing.
Happy New Rabbit Year to all my friends! You know who you are, and the circle is smaller this year.
Rabbit Year supposed to be more balanced and quiet after last dramatic one. But look what is happening in world and even in our Sangha? Sangha for me means residents of Dai Bosatsu Zendo and all other people who have been regularly coming there to practice over last twenty years I have been coming too, but not the ones seeking attention of Roshi or interested in power and politics, and other groups I have no affiliation with. Today not only world cries: “Mubarak we do not want you!”, but we also have our “Mubarak” in ZSS board who tries to control our lives and whom we do not want among us. He still clings to power. The beginning of the year appears to be tumultuous, maybe the zodiac signs are not aligned with reality.
In Rohatsu sesshin several people asked me why I stopped to post my blog. I was surprised; I thought none is reading it. At that time I did not want to write what was in my heart, many people would be exposed. But now, from the perspective of a few months, I have more facts and clear picture about “happenings”. I may share something.
So, my Friends, love and all the best to you in New Year! I still hope it will be better than last one.
PS.
Reality makes you laugh so much sometime. I am on my computer composing this post and on TV another program started, and the first comments are: “So, what about Mubarak? He is still here!”
A minute later – Well!!! Not so!!! There is a special Announcement Now! Mubarak gave all powers!!! People of Egypt and the world are ecstatic!!!
THIS is incredible indeed!
