Thank you. I'm grateful to find your page. One of my biggest inspirations was reading Crooked Cucumber many years ago and continue to grow because of it. Dogen reminds me of humility and getting out of my own way.

Hi there, thanks for reading and commenting. Dogen is a phenomenal writer and poet and of course, Zen adept. What a brilliant heart-mind-body!

Hi Rosana! I was just thinking about you! As I was looking for photos to post from my and Tanya's travels, I saw some from our trip to Spain and I was wondering how you were doing and made a note that I should email you. Yes, I took these photos while we were in the Truso Valley, which is an other wordly experience given its isolation, elevation, primal beauty, its location near the Russian border (of Ossetia), and its lost civilization ruins. Let's connect if you're around during Christmas/NYE. Bowing from the monastery🙏🏼
