Abbot Steve completed another lay entrustment ceremony yesterday, for Tom Millard of the Dharma Eye Zen Center.
Mary explained to me today that the last report about Abbot Steve's condition was possible because fortunately the hospice physicians have been able to find a better mix of medications overall for him. She also informed me that, despite the apparent improvements, he continues to become exhausted quite easily and must manage his energy carefully.
We feel fortunate that he has been able to perform these ceremonies for his students.

Thanks a lot for your post. I would really like to say that the cost of car insurance varies greatly from one insurance plan to another, for the reason that there are so many different facets which give rise to the overall cost. For instance, the model and make of the car or truck will have an enormous bearing on the price. A reliable aged family automobile will have a more economical premium than the usual flashy sports vehicle.

I do like the way you have framed this specific difficulty and it does give us a lot of fodder for consideration. On the other hand, from what I have observed, I simply wish when the feedback pack on that individuals keep on issue and in no way get started on a tirade of the news of the day. All the same, thank you for this fantastic piece and while I do not really go along with the idea in totality, I value the standpoint.
