I find the places for our sit-a-longs each day, mostly because there is an internet connection there (they take some hunting to find) or because it connects in some way to the theme of the sitting.

But I don’t choose places because they are exciting or interesting. In fact, my point in sitting in different places is quite the opposite, that we can sit Zazen EVERYWHERE! A quiet place to sit is within us and outside too.

I want to say that every place, and everything, is a treasure or sacred. Even when we do not feel it so.
