Enjoyed visiting the Enku museum in Seki City, Gifu. I was struck when I saw a single sculpture in Australia 30 years ago. Premodern sculpture, prefiguring modernity; and those gorgeous smiles!

Lovely day wandering around Daitokuji temple complex. Lucky to chance across evening Zazen practice at Daisen-in, an historic sub-temple with a beautiful teaching garden - more than 500 years old. Very welcoming people and enjoyed a nice cup of tea and chat afterwards.

What if 30% of businesses were worker-owned? The bottom 50% of Americans' wealth would rise from 1.4% to 6.4% of total wealth. Median wealth for Black households would increase from $24,000 to $106,000. Those without high school diplomas would see their median wealth grow from $21,000 to $84,000.
