SUNDAY SERIES: Lazy Summer Afternoons Under the Rose Apple Tree with Tess Beasley & Jesse Cardin
2nd in a Four-Part Series: August 6, 13, 20 & 27
I agreed to doing this “Lazy Summer Afternoons” Sunday Series because I love teaching and I love working with Tess. I hadn’t considered how lazy it might make me. Koans work like that. You innocently invite them into your life and they take over.
The dishes have started piling up in the sink and I don’t think it’s a problem but I wonder if it’s a problem that I don’t think it’s a problem. That whole mess seems like a lot of work, so I take a nap instead. They don’t seem to mind.
I know I had some problems but I’m too lazy even to remember what they were, so I just leave them to their own devices for now. I close my eyes and the delicious dark comes over me like a weighted blanket and I’m too lazy even to insist that I fall asleep.
Am I afraid of this happiness?
See you Sunday! —Jesse
In this four-part series, we’ll lean into the dog days of summer and explore what the old Chinese masters coined as wu wei, or the high art of doing nothing. We’ll find our own spot under the rose-apple tree and perhaps discover how awakening appears everywhere when we forget to hold it off.
Join us for meditation, koans, stories and companions.
Meditation is not a task with a known goal. It’s something you can’t do wrong, a chance for the things of this world to come towards you and to meet you, for doors to open by themselves, and for us to see where the ancient paths lead.
Waking up is something we do together, in the online temple on Sunday. We love it when you join us.
—John Tarrant, Tess, Jesse, & all of us at PZI
