I DO NOT REPRESENT SAN FRANCISCO ZEN CENTER. THE WRITING ON THIS BLOG IS SOLELY MY THOUGHTS AND EXPERIENCES AND IS IN NO WAY MEANT TO REPRESENT THE TEACHINGS OF SAN FRANCISCO ZEN CENTER. I'm a total beginner and don't want anyone thinking that what I say is actual zen practice. It's just me. If you're interested in finding out about zen, check out the zen center website:

The Myth of Paradise
Read this. It's a really interesting take on wanting to "get away from it all."
(Full disclosure: The author is my childhood friend, like big-time friend, like, our cabbage patch dolls pretty much had an arranged marriage.)
loved this paragraph: "Also, your shit is your shit and no matter how balmy the temperatures or blue the lagoon, it will be with you, always. Other people have their shit too and you will have to deal with it anywhere there are other humans. "
