This change never ceases, does it? After this, I've got to sweep the leaves off the front porch. Every one as beautiful as that aspen leaf, but destined for the compost bin.
A Zen Buddhist who follows in the tradition of Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh but I enjoy teachings from all Buddhist traditions. In addition, I am influenced by Taoism and Secular Humanism. I am also a nature lover and live with Schizo-Affective Disorder. The blog is titled, "The Buddhist Blog" because it was all that I could think of for a name. It does not mean that somehow I think my blog is the definitive blog on Buddhism. It is not. It is one traveler's footprints and nothing more. I am not a Buddhist teacher. This blog is a journal of my humble travels as I try to follow the middle path of Buddhism. Take my hand and walk with me for awhile. I have a university degree in U.S. History with a special emphasis in African history. As well as a minor in World Geography.

Thanks everyone for the compliments.
Pete: Yeah I like bits of tree bark too. It's beautiful and smells good too.
Barry: I think compost is a great, easy to understand example of change and the death-rebirth cycle.
Hey, James!
I just wanted to let you know that I named your blog as a "Blog I Love" at my blog:

Beautiful and prophetorially appropriate (from the Abrahamic tradition perspective). :)
I've been a fan of Basho for many years, and reading this reminded me of his poetry.
Lovely, James!

I'm honored to be mentioned in the same sentence of that great Haiku master. You honor me greatly.
