Practicing zazen alone is important,
if only to realize that we need others.
The true dojo is held together by the pillars of practitioners.
A single pillar is often insufficient, the dojo could collapse.
Practice is connecting
To others, beyond space and time,
Practice is connecting
To others, here and now,
When the strength of the practitioner from elsewhere, in other times, cannot reach us.
