Welcome to “ART AND ZEN TODAY”. If you are new to this site, I would suggest starting with the post titled “Experience #1. Or, feel free to check out recent articles and those in the Archives. This blog is a little different so before you dive in, let me tell you what I intend to do here. This Blog will:

1. look at the interface between contemporary art practice and contemporary spiritual practice.
2. include some interactive and experiential Play Posts ( I call them EXPERIENCES) that will hopefully be fun, inspirational, provocative and awareness-raising for those involved in spiritual and/or artistic practices.
3. be updated bi-WEEKLY with new posts. Some are Interactive Experiences that may take about 10 – 15 minutes to play. However, there is a lot going on in each Experience, so feel free to come back to play again.
   
4. be an opportunity for connecting with others with similar interests. Please leave comments each time you visit.
5. hopefully include art work and/or post by guest posters.
6. probably include some shameless self-promotion on my part but, will also serve as a “point of practice in my Zen studies with John Jiyu Gage Sensei (see the ABOUT page); he and I will meet to discuss each post.
7. not necessarily MAKE SENSE so just jump in and “go with the flow”. If posts occasionally sound “preachy” or “teachy”, it’s probably because I am writing about something I know I need to pay attention to and practice myself.
