For my talk tonight, I'm riffing off the part of Zuimonki where a monk asks Dogen how they're supposed to survive when there is no tradition of supporting monasteries/monastics the way there was in China. (This was in 13th century Japan, when Buddhism was new there.)
Still relevant!
Not me finally pulling my head of my ass and figuring out what to do with the massive backlog of content gold
So I’ve decided to stop being obstinate and start posting again on socials for @AngelCityZen. I think we’re gonna start using this format for podcasts clips. Like I have to find a way to make this fun for me, and talking animals might be the ticket. What do you think?
The streets of Los Angeles learned this from me from roughly 2009-2020 (I still dip in with a lesson here and there)

YOU'RE BORN. YOU SEE PANTS STYLES GO FROM BAGGY TO SKINNY BACK TO BAGGY EVERY 10 YEARS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. YOU DIE. THE END

From the latest Tiny Revolutions:
Made it 20 years in LA before finally being pushed onto a stage, Zen center as pure land, privilege as a disability, a summer of ants, loving your neighbor because she’s you, a fully unsupervised frontal cortex, and why “50 is the new 30” is the dumbest thing anyone has ever said to me.
+ Seven dharma talks on winning, repression, the inner critic, and whether I’m allowed to be a know-it-all (working on it).
Then I beg you to tell me what newsletters you read these days and why.
A thing I was talking about with a favorite female elder: how for most women, our words flow in relationship. So, for example, most of us don't come to a place like this with a MESSAGE because we're not generally focused on advancing our own personal agenda but tending to the needs of the whole. It's more like, we get going when we see what is needed and respond accordingly.
It's why some of my default writing advice for women who are stuck is to read something that makes them angry and then write from the place that wants to set the record straight.
