Every minute life shifts and energy moves. The only permanence is impermanence. This can make us sad, when we wish to hold onto “things” and strive to keep solid what has never been so; but this can also be fun. Like a good carnival ride, it can be exhilarating, scary, and humorous and all points imbetween. And, if we keep our eyes open, it can be amazingly informative.
The temple is now a “reality”.
Within the month we will open our doors and begin a new dance that never started and will never stop. This is what makes everything possible. It is my sincere hopes that you will come and visit, stay for some meditation, liturgy and a cup of tea. The great gift of Sangha is one we can only create together.
