Nonetheless, after lunch and a good dose of coffee, I sat down and pretty much sorted all the lists out in two hours, before turning to the myriad other details - wrapping new oryokis, distributing doan instructions, making sure all the chant sheets are in the right place... right now, sitting down for a moment after dinner, there are just a few loose ends to straighten out, though I will have to bathe and shave my head after the Refuges tonight.
Here is the list of attendance variables that I had to work with - as you can see, I was exaggerating slightly before; this is just over twenty people out of the sixty...

Exhausted just reading that.... good luck with it all :-)
i remember thinking on saturday your nenju voice sounded more in the body than you usually do, and it was a good sound. maybe it was just sickness, maybe evidence of presence (even if your head was on fire)
happy sesshin, its nice to think of all of you quietly in the zendo while im at my busy office.
The beauty of lists - sometimes it's all the thinking that need doing. Leaves a little head space for admiring the maple - very lovely.
