Christopher Brainerd blogs about his journey into Buddhism

This is a collection of Christopher Brainerd's ramblings written as a novice student of Buddhism.
My primary practice is Jodo Shinshu, yet I ramble on many spiritual topics.
Some of what follows is original, some are quotes or summations for which I provide the source.
Gassho!

Don't let my habit energy speak for me

I argue with logic
That's my trap
Blessed with a strong intellect
Cursed with an arrogant mind.

Even without words
My eyes give me away
Listen to the moment
And let life circle me.

Calm confidence can
be mistaken for aloofness.
Nothing bothers me!
That upsets people.

Act, don't re-act
And they will learn
That nothing they do
Can upset the balance.
