Comics

These started as a way to kill time during the pandemic. At first just some sketches, then a concept. I've got about 60 of them currently and this is where I'll put them.

Get into some sketchy stuff with me. Check back often to see what's new.

60 Second Sits

Ajahn Chah said, "If you've got time to breathe, you've got time to meditate." Take a mindful minute to reconnect with the present moment. Most of us can find 60 seconds a few times a day. Even if we can't get our butts on the cushion we can be present for a few breaths and that can change your world.

Sweeping the Zendo

This is the blog. A variety of topics and categories. This encompasses the things that aren't the shop. Writing, comics, meditations are all here.

My Trees

Sharing pics and updates about my bonsai collection. Hopefully some helpful hints as well.

The Shop

Bonsai tables, ceramic pieces, art of various kinds and tee shirts . . . and MORE! Take a look at the items I have for sale.  If something catches your eye let's get that in your hands. Some are pieces that I've made and some are from my print-on-demand shop.

Out in the workshop making sawdust.

This site is a work in progress.  As I create more content the site will develop. There's a vision for where this goes. That's not to say that's where it'll end up. I want this to evolve as I do. This site is meant to be a reflection of  the present moment. The present moment is a reflection of everything that came before it. This is simply what's been done up to now.

I have a mantra that I keep just under my computer monitor to remind me -
                This moment is absolutely predetermined.
                The next one is absolutely not.

I'll be building more projects in the workshop; adding a bunch of other pieces that are already finished; writing about how meditation practice isn't just something you do on the cushion; and sharing some of my guided meditations.

Thanks for coming by to take a look around and joining me on this ever-changing work in progress.
