KOAN:
The dog arrives with the amnesty in its mouth—
and what about when the ocean is calm, the river is clear?

A Morning of Amnesty
We abide in the inexplicable amnesty of hereness. Amnesty is also a metaphor for awakening. You allow your awakening to go all the way through. And you can be free, then caught, then free again. Recorded April 17, 2022. Music from Michael Wilding. Todd Geist sings vows.
