Dave Cuomo - Siren Songs and Bluejays

“You are creating everything around you at the same time as everything is creating you. And when you start to really notice that, you realize you have nothing to lose and nothing to prove.” - Dave Cuomo 

Dave reads us excerpts from Suzuki's talk "The Bluejay Will Come Right Into Your Heart" and adds some of his own commentary on embracing distraction, sound and listening as practice, and fighting the urge to run after sirens. Along the way we get good advice on how to thoroughly hate the person next to sitting next to you on retreat, why maybe enlightenment is more trouble than it's worth, and how to be a good Dad by doing less.
