Flow 20180512

I had time to create a picture today and couldn’t think why this one just popped out of my head and down to my hands.  Then I remembered that today is yoga day and the teacher calls the class ‘Hatha flow’.

At first I found that the continuous movement and deep breathing made my body feel as if it was burning.  As if it was being consumed.  I’ve now found a way to do it more softly and its fine.

Kindness in action 20180511

Loved this picture from Emma which I called ‘kindness in action’. 

Sam is so lovely with Elsie and they seem to get on very harmoniously most of the time.

Glorious blue 20180510

Finished the video for Sylvia about our trip to Yercaud and more and am very pleased with it. The picture is of the beautiful blue blossom we saw there.

Every time I make a new video I seem to learn something new and in this case it was how to make a moving title.  I’m going to try for the next Buddha Garden video.

At last I am feeling that I have a bit more time to myself to do these sorts of things.

Only three mangoes! 20180509

Spent a lot of time going out and getting more pictures and then starting the new video I am doing for Sylvia.  I took some pictures of where she stayed and in the garden.

I also took some pictures of Buddha Garden including the above showing two of only three mangoes that we have on our tree this year.  Only last year the trees was covered in mangoes. Apparently it’s a bad season for mangoes and I presume it is because of last year’s drought.

Flowers 20180508

This morning I did some clips for the video which included quite a lot of clips of flowers.  Generally I don’t think of Buddha Garden as having many flowers, but when I really looked I found there were quite a lot.

There was a bit of a breeze this morning so it was much easier doing video clips than photos.  This was one of the few photos (of drumstick flower) that wasn’t blurred. 

Doodle 20180507

Spent a lovely hour or so this afternoon doodling this.  Really enjoyed having the big screen and the graphic tablet and fiddling around with the software.

No idea who she is or where she comes from. 

The energy inside me 20180506

Had a very busy day.  I wrote three reports and got some material together for someone who wants to write something about a new electricity transformer in Auroville.

I managed to get all the software together for using my graphic tablet and this is my first created picture.  Since I’ve had a new yoga teacher and started doing a different sort of yoga my body feels on fire a lot more of the time!  Which can be quite uncomfortable in this heat.

Yoga teacher says it is good because purification is happening.  But to me it sometimes feels as if I am being consumed.  Its better when I do the yoga in a softer way which includes softer breathing.

Despite that I’m glad to continue with yoga in some form or other.
