Sesshin. Day two. Up at 6:15, at the zendo by 8. First sitting periods from 8:00 to 10:00.

How do you divide three sitting periods in to two hours? Forty minutes each? No, for some reason, the first two periods are 45 minutes, and the third 30 minutes. The sitting periods are separated by kinhin (walking meditation).

Dharma talk from 10 to 11, followed by a sangha meal until about 1:30. Driving home, picked up the Sunday NY Times to read during the Super Bowl.

Returned to the zendo at 3:00 p.m. for the Public Talk, this week given by a guest speaker. Back home again by 5.

Started reading the Times, but forgot about the Super Bowl. Go to bed by 10:30 in anticipation of tomorrow’s morning zazen service (6:00 – 7:30).

Thus was the day.
