A new space for you to post random thoughts, links, rebuttals, expressions of gratitude, or whatever. I like this link. It's a pdf of a UU newsletter featuring Gene Reeves' "The Enchanting World of the Lotus Sutra."

Thank you
for the read.

Interesting to learn that Reeves is/was a UU minister. Can you share a little bit about your experience with UU? I always thought UU was a sort of ecumenical Christian-esque (maybe more Deist in the Thomas Jefferson mold) community. I thought it was neat that there is a Buddhist UU. I'll have to take a closer look into what its about.

My Thanksgiving started Saturday because my inlaws are out of the country for Thanksgiving proper. Had family and some of my wife's friends over - 16 people crowded into our Apt. I got the Turkey right for the first time! Doing it again at my sister's farm on Thursday. By Thursday night I expect to have a triptophan overdose. Looking forward to getting a spare tire over the next month or so with all the celebrating coming up.

I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and Holiday Season.


enjoy
Have a great holiday. I'll write more about UU soon.

I thank the thought
The thought gets bigger and thanks me back
