p.s. Joan, Once you are satisfied that this unhappy affair is resolved in your own mind, I would appreciate it if you would delete this post... I suspect that people are getting a bit sick of rudy's latest melodrama... I know I am... Thanks none...

what Rudy is trying to explain is that somebody called Erik Spellman is attempting to impersonate him. sorry for intruding here, i just thought there was a translation in simple english needed: Rudy Crow is just an impersonator for (the real) Rudy...

lighten up

A lot of these little poems about nature feel a little overly serious and earnest. Maybe even a little graspy and clingy. Of course, that's just my mind attributing attributes to something that is just another phenomenon, ergo empty... but...

I like to celebrate the mundane. Zen is big into recognizing the holiness of the ordinary, the "just this". Just this can be anything, not just the moon and birds and leaves and all that.

Whenever my wife showers I like to poke my head past the plastic cu…

Sitting with Fay (a tropical storm who visited us Aug '08)

Sitting with Fay

A smile is born upon my heart
The flower of Peace blossoms in my mouth
Flashes of lightening Smash open the Dharma Door of Mist
A Lotus dies and an Old man appears
Listening to the Sound of the low grumbling Sky
This Corpse is calm, This Flowing River relaxed

Following the soft sound of Croaking Frogs in my hands
The Pelting Rain carries me back to lightly touch this Delicate Breath
And the Strong Winds gently sway Grandfather Tree in me
Clouds hush lullabies with Roars of Pea…

I am accosted by a couple of young men about a certain 'Rudy Crowe'...

So I was taking an after-dinner walk, as is my occasional habit. It was prematurely dark because of the recent fall-back in time. Strolling in suburbia always makes me a little uneasy. I am usually the only one out walking among these vinyl-sided, “starter” homes where I have (well, actually, where my wife has) chosen to take my stand against the onslaught of chaos. I feel uncomfortably conspicuous, as though some whacked-out suburban, republican, “father of thousands” (from John Cheever, kinda,… Continue

New Approach

My blog is now closed to all but my friends. My friends know that I encourage debate, but they also know that I discourage pontificatory dogmatic windbagging and the use of copious quotes... I prefer to reserve those two activities for myself... I don't know how the system works, but anybody who wants to play is welcome... Simply forward me a friend request and you are as good as in...

Killing over a Penny, Happily giving a $1000.-Shelter Sit Nov. 7th

"I would happily give a man a thousand dollars if he needed it, but I would easily kill a man who takes a penny from me without asking."

This was said in group Saturday. And it may sound harsh, but believe it or not, I have been witness to more camaraderie, compassion, and loving-kindness at the Downtown Shelter than any other place I have ever been. (including church!)

I have seen homeless men and women pooling their meager funds together, to make that long, rain-drenched walk to Walmart...to… Continue

Rudy`s Apology

Sorry Rudy, just spotted your aplogy! I was begining to wonder where this was leading, perhaps you need a new compass.

Taming the Mind

Ancient Pali texts liken meditation to the process of taming a wild elephant. The procedure in those days was to tie a newly captured animal to a post with a good strong rope. When you do this, the elephant is not happy. He screams and tramples, and pulls against the rope for days. Finally it [...]

Fantasy Versus Imagination

Imagination draws its energy from a confrontation with desire. It feeds off desire, transmuting and magnifying reality through desire’s power. Fantasy does the opposite; it avoids desire by fleeing into a crude sort of wish-fulfillment that seems much safer. Fantasy might be teddy bears, lollipops, sexual delights, or superhero adventures; it also might be voices [...]

A Handful of Knowledge

There aren’t that many fundamental, or root, principles of dharma. The Buddha said that his teaching is “a single handful.” A passage in the Samyutta-nikaya makes that clear. While walking through the forest, the Buddha picked up a handful of fallen leaves and asked the monks who were present to decide which was the greater [...]
