    One day while I was teaching Aikido at my dojo, 3 Shapes Aikido, in Boise's Historic North End community, a young Japanese lady walked through the door. Her name was Junko Ikuta. From the moment she arrived until the moment she departed, she left an indelible mark on our dojo, our dojo community, and on me. For the past 15 years I have thought about her often and certainly every year on May Day, my favorite holiday. After she left our dojo and Idaho we would communicate a few times a year through social media. Then one day it stopped and I heard the news...  Junko left the party of life.

    I took a long break. My last podcast posted on June 21, 2023. Pretty much 10 months. Life has a way of changing for us. Or should I say changing us. An old friend of mine once said, "It is funny how life gets in the way of life." But sometimes life unfolds in ways that redirect us. Many times in goods ways and in many ways there are bad times. Life took a turn for me and I simply had to stop broadcasting my podcast. Many times I wanted to record and post. But I just was not feeling it. The other times I thought I would stop podcasting all together. Even as I write this and record the podcast, I am not really sure what the future will bring or what I will do. I know I am not ready to stop broadcasting. And at the same time, I am not sure how my podcasts will evolve and transform in the moments I am here. All I can really say right now is things will be different with my podcast. This is regarding when I upload and broadcast, how often I do it, the overall length, I plan on changing the website, and of course the content. But for now... Here is podcast number 321.

    I decided to spend one full day at Boudhanath Stupa. Most of my time in Kathmandu and at my hotel (near Boudhanath Stupa) was usually in "home base" mode. Meaning I am generally spending a number of hours at Boudhanath but not all day. I typically leave to go to the Monkey temple, to shop in the Thamel District, or am off to visit one of the many Buddhist sites in the city or in a small city close by. I am either waking up to do practice at Boudhanath, or I leave for the Swayambhunath in the morning and return for the afternoon, or I am gone most of the day and swing by late night for my night time practice. After spending 5 days on the road visiting municipality (city) of Halesi and the Maratika Caves, the city of Timal and Yarinak Cave, and the famous Stupa in the city of NamoBuddha, I was ready for a day of non-travel rest. This meant I was going to spend a full day at Boudhanath Stupa practicing, shopping, and site seeing. Thanks for listening! I invite you to share this podcast, offer a comment or leave some feedback. Show Notes: I finally spent one full day at Boudhanath Stupa. It felt good not to get into a taxi for that one day. I was able to see how the character of people who practice Buddhism changes every couple of hours throughout one full day.

    Squat and Poop – OHS 313

    Play Episode Listen Later May 5, 2023 15:38


    A sitting toilet is not very common in the general public space of Nepal. And certainly not outside the city of Kathmandu. This means there is a lot of squatting and pooping in Nepal. Additionally, there is a cultural non-use of toilet paper. Also, public bathrooms tend to be pretty gritty overall and the desire to put one's bag or backpack on the floor does not exist. Therefore, it takes a bit of work drop the pants, squat, and poop. Did I mention that soap is not a commonly found liquid in Nepal's (hard to find) public bathrooms. Add the one handed thing to this process and we have a podcast worth sharing.  Thanks for listening! I invite you to share this podcast, offer a comment or leave some feedback. Show Notes: Squatting and pooping is the main theme in Nepal. Most public bathrooms are very gritty and unsanitary. There is no desire to put one's bag or backpack on the floor in most bathrooms. Toilet paper and soap are not common (if at al all found) in Nepals public bathrooms. Having one hand adds to the layer's of careful process and movement while pooping in Nepal.

    When I was in the first few years of primary school, something extremely uncomfortable happened to me and another student born with disabilities. I attended St. John The Baptist, a private Catholic Elementary (grades 1 to 8) school in South Bend, Indiana. When I look back on it I can understand the intention of what they were doing. It does seem like they were trying to do good. However, it was incredibly uncomfortable for me as a one handed very young child. That experience had an impact on me then and still does in some way now. I say this because the experience is one of my early memories of one-handedness that I have never forgotten and comes up in my thinking enough to notice. Seems like a good topic for a podcast.
