My First Post

I decided to start a blog because I thought it was only fair due to the amount of positive info/insight I have gotten from other blogs and internet sites. I want to share my thoughts and experiences with others. Maybe I can learn even more this way.  I subscribed to my first blog: Hardcore Zen. I have read many books on Zen meditation and Buddhism in the past few years and I am in the process of creating what I like to call my "philosophy of Zen." I had to create a "philosophy of teaching" when I was in my educational training. This was the first time I thought about having a philosophy of anything. I do believe that we all have a "philosophy of life" whether we think of it this way or not. We each have a core set of ideas about what we are and where we are going and what we would like to experience on the way. I hope to become something more than that "Zen person."
