We’ve visited Death Valley several times…it’s one of our favorite places. In fact, we were married there in April 2001. So it’s not unusual for us to get the bug to return in April. Of course, it’s not all that unusual at all, given that everyone is doing it these days. [...]

I stayed at San Francisco Zen Center’s Green Gulch Farm for three days. Here’s the second installment about my time there.
My watch alarm went off at 4:30 and I had a brief argument with myself about getting out of bed. I’d already decided to [...]
