Summary: Episode Description: In this talk Sensei Kaz explores Dogen’s “Time-Being” and Ruth Ozeki’s “A Tale for the Time Being,” and how -- because all people are nothing but time -- we can shape time. He then reads a dozen or so delicate, poignant late-life haiku from a new collection by Mitsu Suzuki, Shunryu Suzuki Roshi’s 100-year-old widow. He tells tales of her life, and of his own encounters with her spanning fifty years.
