Long time, no post. The end of summer seems to herald a return to blogging for me. Check the stats, I probably have the habitual pattern of blogging more during the Fall and Winter months when my mind turns to hibernation, thoughts of warm drinks and poultices for my liver (read on…)
Here’s a glance at the recent past goings on.
- I’ve been juggling a few books including:
Peaceful Death, Joyful Rebirth by Tulku Thondup
Our Band Could be Your Life - by Micheal Azerrad (Mr. TMcG had loaned this to me a zillion years ago and I can’t get past the chapter on The Minutemen).
- I’ve helped out with the new Montreal Shambhala Centre website which should launch any day now.
- I attended a talk by Zenpunk Brad Warner
- I’m all jazzed up about Ethan Nichtern’s new book, One City: A Declaration of Interdepence* (*waiting for the book to arrive so anticipate a review shortly. It will move to the head of the aforementioned booklist upon arrival!)
- Lama Tenpa Gyaltsen visited the Rigpe Dorje Centre and I was in awe of his teachings on the bardo. Funny, down-to-earth and to the point, Lama Tenpa Gyaltsen’s stories kept me riveted to the cushion and made me ready to run off to study with him at Naropa University.
-Started to see a naturopath and developed a love for B multivitamins but I’m still trying to get my head around the idea of putting a castor oil pack on my liver to help to detox it. Sounds soooo old school!
My ego has just bored itself with all this talk of me. Please tell me something about what you’ve done this summer.
Your Turn
