deep


today is supposedly the 50th anniversary of the peace symbol. it was created and used in the uk, first by the anti-nuclear movement. the semaphoric symbols for N and D are indicated by a holding flags like a reverse v (N) and a two flags-one up and one down (D) which are fused to make up the now near universal symbol which literally reads ND standing for nuclear disarmament.

did work practice at the lake calhoun zen center- cleaning zabutons and zafus and then doing the dishes. on the kitchen window was this sign-

if you cannot hear the pots and pans crying out as they clang into each other while washing in the kitchen, your zazen is not deep enough -uchiyama roshi
