care. - DC

Sticking in this ad today for the Cuke
Basket which I copied off the index page.
Cafe Press
2007 Calendar Prints Admittedly the Cuke Basket needs development, so please lend your graphic support (to this graphically challenged clod) and ideas (to this dimwit) and donations (to this beggar) and it will flourish. And remember the Cuke Basket's Motto: Buddhism: the religion that promises nothing... and delivers! (thanks Jackie Celko)

December 2006 Wikipedia Entry on Shunryu Suzuki including this weird
drawing which is sort of vertically stretched it seems to me. Links herein
go to Wikipedia. I took out the [edit] links. I copy this here now cause
these entries change and I think this one's pretty good. It's all based on
Crooked Cucumber as far as I can see. I don't know who did it. Seems to me
it would be better if this stuff were signed. Anyway, here it is. - DC

The Day Habeas Corpus Died. 10-16-06 - There are more updates on Darlene Cohen, see 10-14 below) who is expected to come home from the hospital today. 10-15-06 - Natalie Goldberg has written two books which feature Dainin Katagiri Roshi - The Great Failure and The Long Silent Highway. Katagiri was Shunryu Suzuki's assistant priest at Sokoji in San Francisco from 1964 and he went on to found the Minnesota Zen Meditation Center. I read Great Failure: my Unexpected Path to Truth most recently - this summer at Tassajara - and enjoyed it a lot. She was really upset when she found out that he'd had some affairs. It wasn't my reaction but it's not my book. It's hers and you really get to see what went on in her mind as a Zen student and with Katagiri and her father - there are some great lines from him. Anyway, thank you Natalie for these books. Which reminds me - Thank You and OK! also featured Katagiri and he's in Crooked Cucumber and Erik Storlie's Nothing on My Mind, but there should be more on Katagiri on this site. Hmm. Give me time (and money if you really want it to happen). Anyway, go check out Natalie Goldberg's web site. See these books and her books on writing and her workshops and art. 10-14-06 Darlene Cohen just had surgery for a growth which has turned out to be malignant - ovarian cancer which her doctor is confident can be successfully treated.

See right below. 9-08-06 - Found! Indeed, someone took it by mistake, thinking it was one of the items up for grabs. A Missing Incense Urn - At Betty Warren's funeral, a small, greatly treasured incense urn of whitish green glaze of a size you could cradle in one hand, was taken by mistake. It was sitting on the round table next to the table of Betty's mementos which were up for grabs. It belongs to Kwong Roshi who was doing the ceremony and who greatly misses it. Taking it would have been an easy misunderstanding. If you or anyone you know were there and have any idea where it might be, you know how to get hold of me. Thanks.

Also, check out the following sites: First and foremost, the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City CA headed by Zen buddy Gil Fronsdal who has done so much to develop the dharma in the US. Check out the sight's Audio Dharma section which even has an embarrassing and unworthy contibution from DC. A few years ago Gil put together a Shunryu Suzuki conference at Stanford and I'd really like to put that whole thing on this site. It's one of the many tasks I'd love to do if I could just get off my butt and earn or raise some loot to support me to do it. Hint hint. Anyway, I am putting up some links before going off to Tassajara and I got the ones below and I thought well there's always something central to the purpose of this site that is not on it due to my negligence and this is what I came up with as the most negligent omission in the links section. But no more, for here it is for all time. Thanks Gil. May we have more from you in the near future. - DC God-u-Like - An Irreverent Look at the Faith Industry. http://www.jacksonpollock.org/ - for your artistic side.

Thanks to David Cohen. - DC 6-19-06 - To learn a little more about Global Warming, follow this link. It's never too late to do something, at least for fun. 6-17-06 - An official cuke.com point of view: we should pay attention to global warming like we would a boulder above us about to fall. By we I mean SFZC folk, Zennies in general, Buddhists, Spiritual seekers, and humanoids. If we keep leaving it up to inanimate corporations and their lackeys, we may be doomed to inanimacy. It may be too late and too hard, but why not give it at least a hail mary. More tomorrow or at least Monday if I don't get it in before going off for the day. Doing some Aluminati visiting. Should do an Aluminati update. Luv. dc 6-16-06 - Backyard Zen link is sorta weird.

But I'll be adding fascinating stuff here soon. In the meantime, as I've suggested before, I'll bet there's a ton you've never seen deep in the bowels of cuke.com. Check out the Table of Contents. - DC But there is something I want to mention today. Liz Wolf's anarchist son is having trouble with the fascists who run this nasty government. Oh sorry, did I stoop to name-calling? OK. Take out the "anarchist" from that sentence. His name's Josh Wolf. He is a journalist. He took footage of protests over a G-8 Summit and now the FBI and the Justice Department and a grand jury are threatening him with jail is he doesn't hand his film over. Check it all out on his web site the Josh Wolf Grand Jury page. Here's an article from the SF Weekly called Should Journalist Josh Wolf be Afraid? There's a typo in that article for sure. His footage is not of a July 8,2006 protest in SF against the G8 summit in Scotland. It was 2005. [Josh Wolf in Jail page on cuke.com - all entries on Josh] 6-6-6 - People think the devil is a being.

Not that I'm getting paid for anything else but if I find some money I'll be back here. I go out and look for it in the gutters occasionally. Heck, I'll be back here no matter what. Bet there's tons on this sprawling site you've never seen. Go fish. And take a look at Gene deSmidt's photo of Tassajara's waterfall. This is just a thumbnail. Click on it to see it big. See ya soon.
