Wax and Wane

Between the wedding and the tokudo last weekend, and the one-day sitting and the beginning of the practice period this Saturday, we have a nice confluence of ceremonies, just so there is no feeling of longueur - tonight we celebrate the Autumn (Fall if you must) Equinox, and tomorrow morning there will be the Full Moon Bodhisattva Precept Ceremony. So if you are not reading this in China or Chile, Ireland or Italy, there is still time to come along, and if you come for the Equinox Ceremony, you can bring what we always call 'seasonally appropriate words', which usually means poems, although some people are happy to improvise. And since the weather in San Francisco is doing many interesting things right now, photos of the moon from yesterday after dinner.
