33: Pointing at the Moon

I'm Julius Welby, a Zen Buddhist, programmer and photographer.  I'm podcasting about Zen while walking, usually on a nature reserve in the UK.  This is a lockdown project, but it may continue after the lockdown ends.   Making this podcast is a way for me to get beyond my own perfectionism,  and to allow things to be just as they are. I'm using minimal equipment - currently an iPhone, no external microphone, and I typically post each episode just as I finish recording it.  I am @jwelby on Twitter. I welcome feedback.  The title, "Brilliant Mistake", is an Elvis Costello lyric.
