Your Calamities

One of the things I love best about my job is that sometimes I get to work on things that are really cool and interesting, and actually see things I would not get to see otherwise (learning something in the process), all while getting paid to do a job that is fairly fun and interesting in and of itself. Doesn't that rock?

This dispatch is from just such a job, Gentle Readers. I am sitting in The Catholic Church of St. Peter, which is the oldest Catholic church in New York City, while a group of Buddhists rehearse the ceremony that they are going to perform here tomorrow morning. It is all part of this week's activities centered around the opening of a show of sculpture by Shinjo Ito, a renowned Buddhist artist and the founder of the Shinnyo-en order of Buddhism.

Not a bad way to spend a couple of days.
