Here's why sesshin is so good:
Lost in a story line? Ding Time to get up and walk. Replaying the drama? Bong Time to chant. Feeling bad about your life? Boom boom boom boom boom Vacuum the floors and stairwells. Feeling all comfy and snug? Bok bok bok bok bok Haul your rump out of bed and plop yourself on the cushion in the chilly early morning zendo.
And the best reason of all:
Thinking you'd like to spend the rest of your days in sesshin? Ding [deadbeat] It's over, so get on out and get on with your life.

Just got out of Rohatsu Sesshin with Bodhin Roshi here at Chapin Mill. Couldn't have said it better myself, my friend!
