		<title>Mono Friday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

&#8220;Political Speech&#8221;2006
My first participation in Mono Friday. Thanks to Bodhipaksa for the tip. 
I&#8217;ve moved my Zen presence (spelled correctly this time) over to Wooden Zen. Join me there if you dare. Now I&#8217;m considering moving my woodworking presence to a new blog to separate out the various parts of this thing called me.

		<title>Zen Persona</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve started a new blog over at http://woodenzen.blogspot.com/. It is an experiment. My intent currently is to post about Zen, to make them short, personal, intimate, sort of like a bubble floating on top of a stream. Here we go&#8230; so join me if you dare!

		<title>Leonard Cohen&#8217;s Hallelujah</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to my twitter friend Patti Digh, I came across Leonard Cohen&#8217;s Hallelujah and a couple sweet covers. Here are the relevant youtube links. Each about 6 minutes long. 
I&#8217;ve come to see this as a sweet and sexy love song. Honest and intimate in a way that I aspire to. Thank you Jikan.

Wordle image of Shodoka  

Sad news. Feb. 2, 2009 Chan Master Sheng-Yen passed from this life. I never met him yet was deeply touched by his teaching. Last year I spent many weeks with good friends, looking at the Chan text called &#8220;Shodoka&#8221; or variously &#8220;Song of Freedom&#8221; or &#8220;Song of Enlightenment&#8221;. Master Sheng-yen&#8217;s commentary [...]]]></description>

Water Music&#160;&#160; &#160;&#160;&#160; &#160; 
by Robert Creeley
The words are a beautiful music.
The words bounce like in water.
Water music,
loud in the clearing
off the boats,
birds, leaves.
They look for a place
to sit and eat&#8211;
no meaning,
no point.

		<title>Wood, Gratitude, Zen and Poem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Cutting Boards and Wooden Spoons

There is a lot to be thankful for. Here is a short list.

My sweetheart&#8217;s companionship
Boykan the wonder dog
A warm (in many ways) home
Work that is interesting, challenging and contributes
Health and well being
A rich spiritual life
The time to work with wood
Living in a technological age
Woods to walk in
Friends to meet with
