Wow ...I'm remiss in my correspondence - sorry.<br /><br />Wow Susan - that's an amazing coincidence. As if the world isn't mysterious enough! I really love his book. I'm on the verge of reading it for a fourth time. Thank you!<br /><br />Thanks, Lola - I like the way you put it - how/where/if - quite a koan.David Ashtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18339979176989832285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803595820939776322.post-48881046943043976332012-01-11T23:24:43.069-08:002012-01-11T23:24:43.069-08:00This blog entry plus Susan's comment reminded ...This blog entry plus Susan's comment reminded me that I would love to start journaling again. That poem is a very interesting snippet to save. <br /><br />One of the reason's that I love your blog is the combination of God and Buddhism, which is something that not too many people are writing about. How/where/if God fits in is something that a lot of Buddhists contemplate.Anihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992521702289342207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803595820939776322.post-13579999271250548522012-01-11T07:44:50.740-08:002012-01-11T07:44:50.740-08:00just as you had posted this, I had written the poe...just as you had posted this, I had written the poem'just bow' in my notebook. it is the perfect message.<br />thanks for shedding light on it...Roshi would be pleased to see how you presented his words.susandedorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18408105025111214404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803595820939776322.post-85472225917494899962012-01-09T17:55:32.633-08:002012-01-09T17:55:32.633-08:00Thanks, Carole - I bow to your first thought.

Here it is: <a href="http://www.fpa.es/en/multimedia/1511/" rel="nofollow"> Speech by Leonard Cohen in the 2011 Ceremony</a><br /><br />I agree on both counts, Tara – Leonard is my hero too, and Seth Segall did a great blog post. Good reminder that we are important but not self important. Do you always dream in koans? :)<br /><br />Thanks, Matt – and thank you for adding me to your blogroll.

For him, he truly understands the meaning of bowing, in his entire being.<br /><br />Secondly, I read "Why Do Buddhists Bow" and recommend it highly to all your readers. Don't pass this one up! There is bit of info in there about carrying around 2 pieces of paper with notes on them. It reminded me that I awoke this morning with this repeating in my head, "We are always alone. We are never alone." I cannot remember the dream, just the saying from whence it came.Taradharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17665801586196931603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803595820939776322.post-44228119419605751422012-01-09T10:16:31.560-08:002012-01-09T10:16:31.560-08:00Well of course my first thought was for the wonder...Well of course my first thought was for the wonderful acceptance speech given by Leonard Cohen as shown in your picture. But bowing, there are small things I like to bow to, but I used to find it a bit of an empty gesture in the Zendo. I was not tuned into its deeper meaning on a regular basis and I wondered if all those bowing were. I am not much on ritual, but I do love the way you describe it here and the idea of small gestures and respect.<br /><br />I am a big lover of small tasks such as sweeping the floor, cleaning something well, there is a completeness in these acts. <br /><br />I look forward to reading the article you mention on bowing. I love it that by reading a post like yours I can see the deeper meaning of things, in this case a simple gesture of bringing the palms together and bending forward.
