Peeling off Layers

.... I started reading yesterday ..... and it seems that this time I will be able to continue .... how interesting that Skvorecky actually himself mentions this unbearable sentimentality in regards to all things that meant so much in the past .... I used to cry as soon as I got to some passage in any book about Czech and how screwed up things used to be ... or as soon as I've heard some songs or music ... or any other quite unexpected trigger would do ..... I am better now I think ...... I must have 'matured' or something ... now that's a joke ....

... at the beginning of last week I met with Jan to collect my share of our picture books ..... and now starts the work of trying to distribute them ... reading it to my little kids class had a very excited response ...so it seems it all works well .... all the time which went into making sure that pictures have a good flow seem to have paid off .... there is the engaging start continuing to culminating large view of Nog the dog being pleased with himself for a job well done ... till final 'surprise' of sheep being 'naked like' - shorn ...

... amazing experience of meeting with friends from cyberspace in a real life ..... and personal discovery of the Geographical Positioning System could not happen in more suitable time ..... time happens I say .... having time for each other and discovering deeper connections should not come as a surprise since that is something consistent with what we believe in ..... on the way back home after the exhibition sleepover a very narrow escape from being hit by a car from behind .... they were sure after me but did not get me this time - I thought ........

.... it's my Birthday tomorrow ..... have learned that it is better to give thanks for all that has been ...... rather than fret about what lays in the future ....... found some old photos and scanned them ..... each time I look at them ...seeing them after years ... I see something new in them what I did not know before ..... time changes my perception of things ..... my brother has his birthday one day before me .....

... in the western tradition we were taught many things about the nature of negativity and the nature of sin, but we were never told that one of the greatest sins is the *unlived life*. We are sent into the world to live to the full everything that awakens within us and everything that comes towards us. It is a lonely experience to be at the deathbed of someone who is full of regret; to hear him say how he would love another year to do the things his heart has always dreamed of but believed he could never do until he retired. He had always postponed the dream of his heart.

... lately I am out of a lot of usual engagement ..... because of my injured finger ... I do spend a lot of time doing physio exercises instead ... it can be quite frustrating to see so little progress .... but I am told that I am doing just fine with this type of injury ....

... yesterday night been to the Avatar movie in 3D ... I did not look at any previews and did not read any reviews and so did not know what to expect at all ... was a bit afraid of wasting time (last movie I saw was the last Harry Potter and that sure was a waste of time then) ... well it turned out that AVATAR was not a waste of my time at all ... I enjoyed this movie immensely ... it goes so well with the mind set I am at right now - which is that of the WILD ....

.... it's easy to loose connections .... how do things 'hold together' anyway ?... finished reading the book by Clarissa Pinkola Estes 'Women who run with the Wolves - Contacting the Power of the Wild Woman' ..... this is about loosing connection within our own selves ... and yes - it was just right time to read this book and open eyes to all lost connections and possibilities lost .... I often wonder about the words Bible has Jesus say ... like : .... follow me and let the Dead bury their dead .... or .....
