Mind a Blank.

During the day as I get on and off buses, walk round temples, eat meals etc. small events catch my attention and I think 'now that would be good to write about', however now faced with the blank screen...my mind goes blank!

Being in the presence of 1001 statues of Kanzeon and about that many school children was interesting and memorable. The power of that many images of Kanzeon completely over-took everything else going on in the hall. It was deeply moving.

Sitting gazing out across raked gravel and rocks at Ryoanji's famous zen rock garden was equally moving. There is no explaining it, I could have sat there all day even with the crowds rising and falling around me.
