Thanksgiving Potluck
Many thanks to all the folks who participated in the Appamada Thanksgiving potluck yesterday! Peg, Paddy Tawada, Bill Smith with his children Ananda and Kent, Mary Beth Laye and her daughter Ellie, Rupesh Chhagan, Eric Lam, Cathy King, Helen Burnette, Cherry Taylor, Vivian Wolfe, and Tabrez Syed shared wholesome and delicious soups, salads, chips and salsa, teriyaki tofu stuffed pumpkin, macaroni and cheese, fresh garden greens, sweet potatoes, samosas, rice pilaf, cranberry relish, roasted potatoes and gravy, and finished up with buttermilk and pecan pie.
There was such a bounty of terrific food, great conversation, and a delightful evening together. Best of all, folks stayed until all the cleanup was accomplished and the Zendo was back in order. I am so grateful for all the help!

Appamada is not just the occasional mindful thought or attentive state of mind, it’s actually a commitment to being attentive. It’s more than just a meditative state of mind, it’s more than just being mindful. It has to do with that primary ethical or moral orientation we have in life, with which we bring into being whatever activity we’re engaged in. Whether in formal meditation, in our interactions with other people, in our social concerns, or in our political choices, it’s the energetic cherishing of what we regard as good.
