    what a wonderful wall to splash some of my history onto, roshi. thank you for this dharma talk, the only digression that arose was your saying that a person who drops the food would have other chances to get it right, for this contradicts our not knowing what may be.

    i miss the sangha and its encompassing sacred space, yet am up against the wall here out of necessity as i continue to heal physically, and with podcasts such as this one, spiritually, so with deep gratitude, susan
