You know, we're losing two of our monks this morning. They have monk business elsewhere.
These guys are really fun to have with us - they bring such grace to our days - and a lot of laughter
Some of the funniest people I know are deeply spiritual people. Folks who have dedicated their lives to missions of peace and love seem to have the lightest hearts, even though they are constantly in front of the darkest sides of human nature.
This guy on the right, he's going to be remaining, and he's just the coolest dude. He is Makino Shonin from Japan. I haven't been able to speak to him much due to the language barrier - but we've exchanged this and that. I watch him a lot though because he cracks me up.
Yesterday he was challenging some of the young Japan people to arm wrestling matches and winning. e's incredibly strong and trucks along up at the front of the line at a brisker pace than I can keep up with on some days. On this day - we were having a short break and it was really hot. I think Jun-san started the water fight...it seems like something she would do. That's why these guys are laughing.
And here's Bonnie in pre-throw - I couldn't quite capture the full-on throw, so you'll have to imagine it.
Oh, Makino also one morning jogged up on one of the students and body slammed into here. For fun.
Gotta love it.
