movie time

This weekend, we watched GENIUS
film about Kerouac's hero Thomas Wolfe.
It also featured Fitzgerald & Hemingway
hauling another fish out of the sea.

instead

 

From The Zen Teaching of Homeless Kodo book:

"We come to understand that this world is an absurd

Chevette. I still remember the sound of the

Taneda Santoka

I just finished rereading Taneda Santoka's book
FOR ALL MY WALKING. He is one of my favorite
haiku writers and died on this day October 11, 1940,
76 years ago.

The Return of Sylvan Moore

Just reread Bhagavan Das' memoir.
I'm planning to read Milarepa's life

All inspiration for the book I'm writing
featuring the return of Sylvan Moore.

New book in the works...

GOOD DEED RAIN book.

It's a gigantic collection featuring 

drawings by Aaron Gunderson:
