Cool, pale colors are good for high-fire people, which you seem like to me - creative, expressive, emotional. I was going to get a big print or poster of that beloved still life by Cezanne from which I picked the colors. That would cover some of that stunning coral.Jeanne Desyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07800258273705288582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123326368423499292.post-78885107145390318582013-02-12T10:00:34.470-05:002013-02-12T10:00:34.470-05:00but do the colours make you feel good now?

And besides, it just needs some art! You know you'd pick something good. karensomethingorotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14476544335741075497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123326368423499292.post-13837075638279667922013-02-11T13:00:39.573-05:002013-02-11T13:00:39.573-05:00Thank you!

That apartment was old and had original dark woodwork, and I guessed there would be no painting that.<br /><br />And squint. A drawing teacher told us that, too - back up and squint at it.Jeanne Desyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07800258273705288582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123326368423499292.post-13641680756489631422013-02-11T12:59:06.124-05:002013-02-11T12:59:06.124-05:00I so know what you mean about people bragging abou...I so know what you mean about people bragging about how spiritually advanced and happy they are. I left the Aging as a Spiritual Practice group because of that - it was being used to affirm ego. And woe betide you if you showed an imperfection; people would be quick to Teach you.<br /><br />In an earlier post I tried to speak to how I'm just human and everyone knows excitement and despair. But then they took me of Seroquel and I started rethinking that. I often think how we are each unique, and so is every oak leaf, yet in the same identifiable pattern.Jeanne Desyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07800258273705288582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123326368423499292.post-40311950710514702302013-02-11T07:22:41.888-05:002013-02-11T07:22:41.888-05:00Dalai Grandma, behold my gadgetry.

Only took me 3 years to figure out what you were saying. <br /><br />What comes up for me when I read your post is where is the bipolar in me? I'm just thinking about Sunday, when I ran from the monastery and bought a beef wellington and a beer. What that hypermania? (I make about 75 dollars a month, and usually hold fast.) Or was it my tax return? Or was it chest expanding experience I had with my practice leader, Meiya?<br /><br />I wonder if we can experience little spikes of what you are talking about, acknowledge them so you don't feel so isolated but refrain from crossing the line of ally? I can't possibly understand your experience. But I welcome it and I'll be generous to it. <br /><br />And I love your life. Before I visited your blog, I almost threw up in my mouth about another blog that was going on about her personal attainment. What a disservice, I thought! But to come here and be met with open hearted bloodletting is what I think emptiness my appear like to a guy a like me. <br /><br />Deep bow, <br /> Kogen, your friend Austin, your little flying pig.<br /><br />P.S Zen center is building a contemplative care (barf?) retirement home here in California. Should be done in 5 years. It will be big. It will be beautiful. There will be a Zendo, open to all types of Buddhists. There will be a garden, there will be priests and classes, and there will be about 20 of our own senior monks (70 and up) who need that place, as our mountain, farm, and city centers can be really intense in climate. I have no idea what it will cost, but I can ask.

If you need help with the bedroom let me know.<br />When it doubt...squint at the room....like you are trying to compose a painting.<br />Was Oncehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997943977882019444noreply@blogger.com
