These images were created by Katherine during the Miksang workshop held at the center in June, taught by Lance Brunner. Miksang is a Tibetan word that translates as “Good Eye.” The Miksang program of contemplative photography brings together the art of photography, the discipline of meditation and the Dharma Art teachings of the meditation master and scholar Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche.

(October, 2008) I’ve been spending some time making phone calls for the Obama campaign. NH is (or was) a battleground state, where McCain has been favorably viewed in the past, but Obama now seems to have a 10-point lead in the polls here. This is literally the first time in about 40 years that I have gotten involved in politics (aside from voting, of course).

Other than that, my main extracurricular thing is still Shambhala (not so much in Boston at the moment, but in Nashua).
