The small town of Cambridge, N.Y., where I live has many parts. On a given day,  you will sit down next to a farmer, a Fedex driver, a publisher or producer, a Sheriff or a truck driver, an artist or poet or wood craftsman. On Tuesdays, the Cambridge Buddhist discussion group, founded by Donna Wynbrandt and George Forss, meets at the Round House Cafe and talks about Buddhism.

They are an earnest and genial group, the Round House is a welcoming place, all sorts of groups meet there now. The religious discussion groups I’ve been to are pretty grim in tone, this group has fun.  I love the town I live in, it surprises and delights me every day.
