First of all, "Happy New Year"! I hope 2016 turns out to be filled with many spectacular moments for you and those you love...
Secondly, welcome to my blog! This is somewhat of an experiment (as the title implies) aimed at keeping friends and family in the loop as I live and practice at a monastery located in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. I've never blogged before and I'm hoping it will also serve as way for me to reflect on my time here at Gyobutsu-ji. In the end, though, it may be neither of these things or both. Who knows?
The title of the blog refers to the traditional days off at a Zen monastery. Basically I'm off on any day that ends in a four or a nine. There are other days too, like today, Christmas, Thanksgiving - the typical holidays that folks have off. But, by and large, I'll mostly be posting on four and nine days, a couple of times a month or so. And maybe I'll throw in a picture or two now and then...
On that note, consider this the official ending of my first official blog post. Be well! :)
