Since I have been kicked out of the Sitting Frog Sangha I have not talked to Dogo Barry Graham. I still go to his website once in a while and read his posts because he does say things I agree with. The latest is, "I really don't understand anyone who doesn't like Dylan; to me, that's like not liking food or sex." He was talking about Bob Dylan.

I wonder why things ended up with Barry kicking me out as a member of the Sitting Frog Sangha because I do not like or agree with that genpo roshi guy and expressed it and that was out of step with him being my teacher.I do not visit the Sitting Frog Sangha as a visitor now (I was told I could) because I do not trust what Barry says. Some how me being me was an insult to his ego as a teacher as far as I can tell. I like old Barry, he is a pretty smart guy. I am still glad I gave him that hat but I have not seen a picture of him lately with it on.I did run into his friend Hoen at the McDowell Mountain Music Festival and we shared kind words but you could tell things were not the same. Seems things turned out to be one of those stories we tell our selves that we are suppose to avoid.

The truth is, I love sitting and drinking tea with friends and listening to Bob Dylan 24 hours a day.
