My year as
Ino will end on Saturday. Deep
gratitude to all of you who took a moment to read these posts. Deep apologies for not writing as
often as I should have to keep you apprised of temple life. On too many days, exhaustion and
grief silenced both creativity and voice, despite my joyous love for a job that
maybe helped a few people to sit, settle and discover the inner heart-mind
that’s better than any I.
On Monday, I’ll
depart for an autumn leave to continue closing out my father’s life and
mourning his passing, and prepare for Dharma Transmission in December.
As our Full
Moon Ceremony says:
No coming, no going.
No surplus, no lack.
Or, better
yet:
Awkward in a hundred ways, clumsy in a
thousand, still I go on.
