I'll certainly contribute however I can, for as long as I can. But you know us monks - one good strong breeze and we're gone.  ::)

You have a great membership here - it shouldn't be too hard to stir them up engage them in meaningful dialogues...

Phil, great to see you back!
I miss your sense of humor... you gotta get the post count up!  ;D
Thanks! It's nice to be back.

Whose post count? Mine or the board's?  ;D  Since I left that temple, the minimal life has begun to appeal to me.

in fact i might just forget about caps and punctuation just like ee cummings   :-\

Thanks for the link. Great, short article. I love the picture: talk about perfect balance. Awesome line: "go slow to get rid of he chaos". It's true in martial arts, slower is better. I had seen too many beginners quit who tried to learn too much too fast.

Although it's not a martial blog, Zen Habits has a nice little article today on the benefits of slow, mindful movement...
