Hi All,
Found this forum in a Bing search - it looks interesting. I live in the rural Rocky Mountains of Montana; as far as I can tell, there aren't many folks around here who are interested in Zen meditation.

I'm hoping to meet others with similar interests. My husband and I retired here from the US Air Force; he's a physician with an open mind, and I'm a disabled vet with chronic back pain, now a full-time freelance writer. I'm not Buddhist although I have a very keen interest in the teachings of the Buddha. I find that Zen meditation is excellent for pain management, calming the clutter in my head, staying in the "now," and is completely consistent with my Lutheran religious beliefs. I hope to get to know you all and learn from you as well.
Peace,
Vienna
