Tim Burkett's blog from the Minnesota Zen Meditation Center, with reflections on practice and everyday life.
Reflections from a Zen teacher on practice in daily life.
The bottle cabinets
Two cabinets hold a bottle for every mood, each one tucked into a neat little row, ready for a sniff.
The smoking chimney
A wisp curls out of the chimney, the library's way of saying the kettle is on and the shelves are open.
The tiny sparkle
A little light blinks beside the door, as if a scent has just found its name.
The narrow door
A slim door sits at the center of the front, just wide enough for one curious nose at a time.
The library sign
A cream sign above the door shares the library's name, in letters that smell faintly of cedar.
