A Quiet Place

Self acceptance. Wow.

A zen friend shared this wonderful Ballard Street cartoon from earlier in the week (April 15).

"Self Acceptance" Ballard Street by Jerry van Amerongen, April 15, 2014

Kind of says it all, doesn’t it? When we let our guard down and open up? WOW!

Ballard Street is filled with quirky characters from the wildly creative mind and pen of Jerry van Amerongen.

Whichever option you choose, sit with Alan (Chapel or online), other Reedies, and campus visitors, anytime between 12:10 and 12:40 pm for silent meditation. No need to look at your watch. Bells will be rung every 10 minutes. Show up and leave as you wish. Advance registration is not required.
