Unrelenting Uncertainty, Kindness, Precision, Joy, Laughter

The 2013 Winter Sesshin and (first week of) Ango was indeed a powerful and wonderful experience for the Thursday evening Fort Collins boys.

This page is a simple way to share some memories of of this experience.

Please feel free to email me any photos you want to share; I will post them with your name (as owner) and any comments you add.

If any one wants full size files, you can contact the owner of the original.(mine are all about 5meg).

Sound recordings of Shuso ceremony to come soon.
