Night image

Today a volunteer called Sammy came to see me to teach me about social media.  It was very informative although unfortunately it has made me see how a smart phone would really help me do all this much more easily than on my computer and camera.  So of course now I am looking at suitable smartphones!! But I can manage without for the time being.

The picture develops last night’s scribbles.  I learnt how to change the transparency of the layers and love the effect.  I can think of other instances when I can use that.

The shed is up

Great excitement today when the shed at the entrance of Buddha Garden was finally finished.  It looks wonderful.  We also had 16 people for the cooking class. 

A good day.

Night scribbles

This is a picture developed from last night’s scribbles.  I really like it although once again have no idea what it means – if anything.  Looking at it though, I can see lots of possibilities with different shapes that suggest different things.  I like the colours as well.

This morning a student came wanting help with a garden being made by a village disability project.  It sounds really interesting and something else to add to my educational activities.

Too busy again

Despite being incredibly busy in the morning and with a yoga class in the afternoon I did manage to walk around Buddha Garden to get some photos.  I love this one of some Tibetan flags hung on one of the volunteer cabins.

I like the splash of colours.

Got some money!

Very busy day.  Went to Financial Services to find a huge queue going out the door.  Eventually managed to get a Rs2000 note which was all they were giving away.  Rajan maintains that he can get change from the petrol station.  Which I suppose shows that come what may people are managing to find notes to pay for their petrol.

One person showed me a Rs500 note that she got from Tiruvannamallai this morning.  So they are around but maybe not in this area.

For the first day of the New Year

This is an image I created today based on something I scribbled last night.  Which, I realised, was very much like something I did on the 24^th.  I presume because its an image that wants to come through.

I love the colours and I also learnt something new about using the software.  Been a somewhat agitating day with lots of little things to do.  Must try to cultivate a more peaceful way of being.

Yoga in the garden

Have felt rather stressed doing this yoga poster for an International Yoga Festival in Puducherry next week.  Mahindran asked if I would come and speak but as I feel I have hardly anything to say I said I would do this poster instead.

I will probably drop in at the festival at some point and answer questions if anyone is interested.  I could do without having yet more jobs to do, but at the same time I want to help Mahindran.
