Please give her review a read and consider picking up the book — directly from lulu.com or from Amazon.

In Pittsburgh once again …
Got the garden in …
Got some house plants …
… and some painting done …
Got the cat …
Saw some Juliet excerpts appear at The Collagist …
Went to Brooklyn to sew …
… and to sit with Reb …
And I’m getting ready for one more event …

I Came Back to Green Gulch…
I led the New Year’s retreat, offering Writing As A Wisdom Project and related dharma teaching, then became the Green Gulch tenzo. So much to say about this and nothing to say. So much to learn, constantly being learned. Not a lot of sleep. Not a time or place for writing. Family far away. Little time online. Little daily news. And beautiful Green Gulch … beautiful place of practice. A perpetual dilemma …
Meanwhile I gave a Sunday dharma talk … accessible via Dropbox with this link: Finding Stillness in the Midst of the Hurly Burly.
Shortly before I came back, a couple of short fictions appeared in the world — “What is Romeo?” at The Collagist and “In Absence” at Kenyon Review Online.
I hope something in this strange assortment of offerings strikes a chord. And may this quick and summary post find everyone well and happy and enjoying friends and peace.
