Hi Steve. You may remember me from IM. Older guy, moustache, I have been verrry spotty attending All Souls, but your event is appealing and I would like to participate. I'll confirm later as plans gel.
My practice continues.
I recently thought of you because I just read the very engaging and provocative book about challenging the assumptions and approaches to urban crime, drug violence, incarceration, and more. It's Don't Shoot, by David Kennedy. Have you read it? I think you esp. would find value in it.
Congrats on the new home!

Hello sanga,
To celebrate my acquisition of my very own house, I'm going to hold a
day-long meditation this Saturday May 19. (I close on Friday). The
address is 734 Kennedy Street, NE in DC. It's about 5 blocks from the
Fort Totten Metro station, and is red/green/yellow line accessible.
The idea for this is that before I put all my stuff my new home, I
thought that a great opportunity exists to first welcome myself (and
others) into the house and get to know it. I don't know what the exact
start/end times will be, but I'm thinking about 10 am - 4pm. As for the
format, I think we'll do 40-45 minute sits and then some walking
meditation to finish off the hour. Repeat. Have lunch. Repeat some
more. We can nosh during the periods of moving meditation too!
There is no need for anyone to arrive promptly at the start. People
can just come and go during the part of the hour when we're doing moving
meditation (the bottom of the hour (from :40-:60), so this day can
remain flexible to everyone's schedules. People can show up for as long
as they want.
It will be potluck, but no pressure because I'll
probably cook plenty of food. Let me know if you're interested, and
I'll fill in the details as they come in.
Steve
