Zen Center, Sweet Zen Center

Though I worked on some Lab business yesterday, we ended up settling in a little more deeply at the Zen Center. I had a few rooms to paint before we could really begin to unpack, so all of our belongings were stored in another room on our floor. With the Lab schedule what it is and our focus on Aya, it's been a very slow process. I am constantly amazed at my own level of patience these days. Decades of ritual, yoga and meditation are paying off as we navigate these new waters. Please don't get me wrong, I've lost it just as many times as the next new dad. I'm just pleased with the somewhat intuitive coping tools that I've picked up upon my path.

I finished painting last weekend, so we took advantage of our "day off" and actually moved into our new home proper. Though our "stuff" has increased with Aya we still don't have much, so it's not your typical move. We had afternoon guests so it only took us a relaxed morning to settle in to the point where it looked somewhat presentable.

We have three rooms here to work with and due to our minimalism it's a great deal more space than we need. As Aya grows and begins to move about I think that will change quickly. We need to figure out the window treatments, get a few more plants and let our living here a bit iron out any kinks, but we're more settled in than we have been since we left the Lab and it feels good.

I'm pretty happy with the layout and arrangement so far. I studied Feng Shui some time ago, and while I'm in no way advanced, I understand the flow of energy in space. Speaking of energy, both the Zen Center and The Lab are two of the most energetically clean (neutral might be the best term) places that I have ever been in. Of course, at the Lab our puja, yoga, and the intention of our work assist in keeping that balance. In a similar manner, yet with a more experienced focus, the Monks here at the Zen Center create that balance through their extremely disciplined work.

Based on my recent activity, it appears that being more grounded assists me in finding the time to post to Detroit As A Portal with more than the mandatory Lab updates. It is my intention to return to a more personal feel with Evolve Detroit, the Lab's newsletter, and frequent blogging moves me in that direction. I think the aspect of Evolve Detroit I miss the most is the gratitude section. We strive to express the sincere depth of our gratitude when people join us for classes or help us out with the Lab. We'll be bringing back the Gratitude section first as we have so many people to publicly recognize for their support. Thank you all, we have been so blessed by your attention!

While I'm on about settling, I have to say that I'm impressed with Hamtramck. Of course, we are living in our own personal vision of grace at the Zen Center, so it could be said that we're a little "in the world but not of it." We've taken a few short walks with Aya and yesterday got to visit the meditation garden across the street for the first time, so we're really just beginning to tune into the city around us.

Growing up in and around Detroit, I'm familiar with most nooks and crannies of the city and burbs, but I never spent too much time in Hamtramck. Somehow my old bands would get gigs at Lilys or Paychecks or there was a period of time when our crew frequented Smalls. Really, my familiarity with Hamtramck was through bar/club culture, so my gaze never really turned off the main drag or saw the city in the light of day. After being here 3 weeks, it appears to be an amazing place.

Many here know about my love of church bells. One of my favorite things to do at the Lab was to sit and write on Sunday mornings while the bells from the four local churches rang out towards the heavens. The Zen Center is near a mosque so here we have beautiful calls to prayer throughout the day. It is incredible to hear them coming in through the window, both Angela and I pause, smile and tune into them throughout the day. I love that Aya has been hearing them as well. Since his birth, I've been encouraging his awareness of the location of the sun, particularly at Sunrise, Noon, Sunset and if we're up Midnight. I'm a firm believer that awareness of Lunar and Solar cycles fosters a deeper connection to the earth and each other.

The adhān, are just one of the multitude of cultural manifestations in Hamtramck. There is, of course, the founding Polish and Eastern European population, amid the more recent additions of Indian, Pakistani, and other Middle Eastern cultures. I enjoy being able to walk through the streets in my lungi (a traditional skirt worn by men in India) and fitting in as much as a white guy can. :) Of course, the services in Hamtramck are extensive compared to what we have been used to in Eastern Market. There's a post office at the end of the block, a great deal of retail even though we don't shop unless mandatory, and there are a few Indian and Middle Eastern places who have been very accommodating with our Veganism. It's a cursory impression to be sure, but Hamtramck has a certain charm that I know we'll enjoy while we are here.

Our next stop? Well, we're looking for a small home with some land around Mt Elliot, so a little east of the Market. More motion towards developing strong roots. That seems to be the call of the day for many of us. We are going to enjoy our time at the Zen Center until we find the perfect spot though. Even more patience is required it would seem!

In Health Joy and Liberation,
Gregg

No Yoga on Monday! - Thanks for Vegan Indian

Wow, the Market is busy this morning! We're about to venture into the sheds again as we forgot to pick up Tamari from Living Zen Organics. We've got a few chores this afternoon and then we're actually going to attempt to take a day off!

Alan is heading over to the Heidelburg Garden to drop our compost and water some of the hot crops we just planted. There isn't much land behind the Lab on Service Street. Though we've had the soil tested and its good to go, there's a ton of semi traffic right next to the beds so we're going to plant flowering rather than edible plants here on the street. Due to this we went looking for another garden to get involved with. We honored to join and learn a great deal from our friends from SEED Wayne as we help with this 2 lot project at McDougal & Heidelburg. We'll be having work days and are putting together a program where you can volunteer at the garden in exchange for classes at the Lab! If you're interested in helping out with this please drop me a line.

Vegan Indian was wonderful last night! We are so grateful to everyone who came out. These classes help keep the Lab up and running and your support means everything to us. We had a great group of people and everyone was thrilled with the food. Ryan Gates set the mood for dinner with beautiful music. Afterward, we watched Ashtanga, NY together and I reminisced about Guruji a bit. It was another incredible Lab event. And the good news? We're going to expand our cross-legged classes and continue them in June and beyond. In fact, all of our June classes will be posted here soon. We're going to put the final touches on the schedule this weekend... there goes that day off! :)

Please enjoy the weekend in Detroit!
Blessings to you and yours!
~Gregg

Detroit Abides, Locked Out of FB, Yoga Tonight!

I'm going to sit down and attempt a personal post. Amazing I know.

Aya is here next to me, he's a ball of energy to be sure. I actually had to strap him in his swing this morning for the first time as he's kicking up a storm. He just sits there with a huge smile kicking away. If we could harness that energy we'd be set!

I want to thank everyone who came out to Detroit Abides last night. FLOW is quite a powerful film. If you missed it last night you can watch the full movie on google. To connect to other Detroiters concerned about water visit Michigan Welfare Rights Org. They have a link to the current petition that was passed around last night.

We're meeting with Eastern Market and Great Lakes Bioneers, Detroit this morning to expand Detroit Abides and set our movie screening schedule for the next few months. If anyone would like to get involved with this incredible event, we always could use assistance and muscle to set up and tear down. As always, you can get me at gregg@detroitevolution.com

Speaking of communication, I've been locked out of Facebook so if you would like to send me something please use old fashioned email. I think I needed a FB break anyway, so it is good, but it might throw a kink into our communication. Someone mentioned something about mercury being in retrograde. I'm not big on that kind of talk, but will acknowledge a certain tendency for technology to turn against me in relation to mercury.

Ok, I'm off to this Detroit Abides meeting and then I have a Bioneers Planning Committee meeting this afternoon. Looking forward to yoga this evening and our Vegan Indian class tomorrow night! Shanti.
