I am a Zen practitioner from the humble stretches of the South Jersey lowlands who is now an expatriate to the Great Plains of South Dakota. I am a mediator, writer, folk poet, librarian, occasional scientist, adjunct instructor, father of two little dakinis and a steady burner of birch logs.
This blog represents the inklings and remnants of my stumbling through the day. In the words of Dogen, I endeavor to "just write what is in your heart. You contribute 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.
Topics include books, reading, fantasy, Zen, poetry and rare rambles and rants.
