Just a quick word of where my practice is today. I’m still not able to formally sit zazen on a regular daily basis. I sat for 5 or 10 minutes once this past weekend but that’s it for quote ‘formal sitting.’

Informal sitting, though, has been on the rise. This past weekend I moved my zafu from room to room and sat to talk with Deb or Paul (or to play with Amy). Doing this helped me get into a very attentive mood while with the different members of my family. I liked it. I felt really grounded. Every once and a while I would have a few minutes of quite and would just get into my right posture and practice serene reflection meditation. For now this will have to do. I want to do much more, especially after sitting Sesshin last weekend, but ‘some’ is much better than ‘none.’
