I have been thinking about my sense of lineage and struggling to define what that means for me. It’s complicated, but I know it isn’t family (meaning ancestry, not my spouse or son) so I must draw on something else. Perhaps my lineage is represented by artists…musicians…writers…I don’t know. I’ll continue to contemplate that this week and see what emerges. Meanwhile, I spent time thoroughly cleaning my meditation space over the weekend (goodbye dog hair!), clearing my altar table, and then reconsidering which items to place there. I have a wood-carved Buddha elevated on a platform, sandalwood malas, a singing bowl, candles, an incense holder, and a small arrangement of clear quartz & amethyst crystals. It felt so good to sit in this refreshed space 🙂
Hello from Boulder, Colorado! I’m here to explore Buddhism more intentionally and for the support of an instructor-led community experience vs. reading and trying to learn on my own. I grew up Roman Catholic and knew from an early age that this was not my path. Later on, I attended a progressive Episcopal church that I enjoyed for many years. However, over time I’ve come to know myself as ‘spiritual but not religious’ so I feel drawn to Buddhism because it is an inherently non-theistic tradition. I look forward to the class and meeting all of you soon!
