What is that in blogyears?
3 years ago today, Jack/zen began as its original blog incarnation, Gassho. I started it as a daily writing practice, which yes I still need even as I’m in the thick of book 5. Writing the blog has always been a daily invitation to observe the world with fresh eyes. Not that I wouldn’t do it without a blog, but a daily blog keeps the practice frontal in one’s consciousness.
So, going into Year 4, I celebrate all daily blogs for their dependable presence, and dedicate this blog to the happiness of all beings.

Blogging is this great opportunity given to us to extend the communal lens into new insights, no matter how magical or mundane. It’s a chance to practice and model conversational generosity - a practice that our world sorely needs!
