Nothing

"Nothing says Buddhism like raising a child." ... this post shamelessly pilfered from Jeffrey Zeldman's Blog. I will email him tomorrow and thank him.

First day of preschool

It’s our daughter’s first day of preschool. I’m excited and nervous, as if I were the one beginning an education. And in a way, I am. For, even more than the first time we let someone else hold her, even more than the first time we let someone else watch her, her first day of school is the true beginning of our sending her out into the world and away from us. Nothing says Buddhism like raising a child. To cherish what has already changed as you look upon it. To hold most tightly what you must most let go.
