Occupy
I'm watching the Occupy movement with growing interest. It's like people have finally woken up. I think Robert Reich does a great job of summarizing things in his recent Huffington Post piece.

Sitting with myself
Today, here, I met myself. Here, while reading Jake Fades. I met me - the whole, the real me. And I smiled.
Jake Fades, by David Guy, is a sweet novel about life, beer, donuts, sex, and oh, yes - Zen. It especially focuses on zazen, or the practice of sitting meditation. You sit, breathe, and see what arises. Soften to all the feelings.
Zen. Zazen. There is something to be said for just sitting.
