I always think of Thanksgiving as the most"Buddhist" of American holidays. It is a wonderful time to practicetogether love, compassion, and gratitude. To allow everyone to be with theirfamilies, the Still Water Community will not have this Thursday either itsregular morning sitting at Sangha or its evening program at Crossings.

Please note, also, that a number of special Still Waterevents are planned for the next several months, including:
