Good to see you here!
metta my friend,
Gord
best wishes, Anne
I apologize for taking so long in responding to your initial contact; I only recently remembered even singing up for this site!
I'm a lapsed Catholic as well, and have been exploring Buddhism for several years, admittedly with to varying degrees of success. I have read the Suzuki book, and have gravitated to Soto Zen in recent years--lots of Dogen!
It would be cool to get to know you better as well. There are not too many people at home to talk with about Buddhism, though there is a Zen temple in the state. I hope to meet more friends as time goes on.
