I only found out recently that Leaonard spent 5 years in a Zen monastry. Always liked his music.
I have always struggled to suitably answer, why I sit, for anyone that does ask the question.
I know I am drawn to it, it feels right, I want to, but people always expect a list of outcomes etc.
And there is the notion that you are in another dimension or super relaxed and not here, when you are actually more here than ever and for relaxation I'd rather go for a massage by the beach than a sesshin :-)
