In May, 2023 at the age of 68, I moved from a townhouse in my hometown Atlanta to a studio apartment in Washington, DC. As part of the downsizing process, I decided to turn to Buddhism to find more meaning in my life. This blog is intended to capture observations I make in the course of that journey. I am not a scholar or a teacher or even an experienced practitioner. These posts should be taken simply as reports from my progress along my newly chosen path, nothing more and nothing less.
