Charles,
Greetings, and welcome to the Group.
You and I have the same practice in Shikantaza.
Long-time practitioner here, and wood-butcher and sawdust maker.
Interesting that you do weaving and have a loom. With my fascination with wood
and wooden things, I'd probably stare in awe at the loom all day and never get
any weaving done, or I'd simply build looms. I have only seen ONE in-person,
though. Do you have a link you could refer me to which might show a similar or
identical loom to the one you use? Just want to admire, not looking to build
one; many projects in the air here already ...and dust.
To me looms look as beautiful as Celtic or other harps. Similar, too. ;-)
With greetings from the desert,
--Joe
