I am a Zen Buddhist practitioner from the humble stretches of the South Jersey lowlands who is now an expatriate to the Great Plains of South Dakota – Buddhist Purgatory. I am a mediator, writer, folk poet, librarian hobgoblin, occasional scientist, father of two little dakinis and a steady burner of birch logs.
This blog represents the inklings and remnants of my stumbling through Buddhist Purgatory. In the words of Dogen, I endeavor to "just write what is in your heart. You contribute to Buddhism if the truths are there." In that spirit, I hope they are of some meager benefit to you or at least enough to earn me a free beer when we run into each other.
