Goodbye from Seirin Barbara Kohn

[Jeff Fields]

Barbara asked me to forward this message as it doesn't seem to have posted when she sent it yesterday:

Dear Sangha,

It looks like I am actually leaving a week from today.  I will miss you and Austin and I am looking

forward to this next adventure in life. I luckily I can return and see you.  January will be my first visit 

and there will be more - so I'll get my opportunity to see you again.

This coming Sunday, a few of you offered to come out mid day to help me with last minute packing

and neatening!  Thank you.  The address is 23010 Old Tatum Trail.  If  you take 71 west you'll

come to Pace Bend Rd. on the right (2322, I believe) (big Chevron station on right corner). Turn

right and go about 2 miles (2 gas stations, country store etc.) Old Tatum (private rd) on your

left. Drive in and at the Y take the right driveway.  Our house is on left - stone cottage.  See

you then - and if we have little to do, perhaps we can all go out for lunch or early supper or

whatever.  If you feel like coming and haven't talked to me, come anyway.  If you can't make it

that too is ok.  Phone here 264 1030 if you get lost.

Take very good care of your Teacher, Kosho.  A sangha's practice is to find out what it means

to help the teacher.  Your teacher is considering how to be there for you, so it is a great

symbiotic relationship.

All my love to all of you and Gassho,

Shunsen Seirin Barbara Kohn
