Today we had a field trip with our friend Vania, from Montreal to see a few places around Mysore. The summer palace, the silk factory and the ox cart factory with workshop and painting shed. By far the most fun was at the ox cart wood working shop . We discovered a charming village with lovely families and children. They all came out to greet us as Allynn brought out the balloons.
Then a merry time was had by all and especially me, who loved taking pictures of all the happy faces. It might as well be Christmas! It is hard to describe the heart warming feeling that comes over me when we are having a joyful moment with people who are from another world. And they exude such color, charm and dignity!
Later we had Past Life healing class. I did another regression. More down to earth than the alien story. And tomorrow is early yoga at the main Shala and I am having a lesson on how to make a Rangoli. Never a dull moment here! Fun fun fun!
See you . Annie
Annie, it’s hard to know what to respond to first, as I respond to everything you write – your hilarity, your kindness, your spontaneity. Although I hardly know you, I feel you are a soul-sister, or soul-cousin, adventuring the world and following a deep path and somewhat taking me with you.
It is lovely to imagine all the joy Allynn is giving with his balloons. All those photos are a balm, and a help with digesting the horrors of the world. Here you two are giving pleasure and gifts in the most modest and genuine way.
Oh Annie (and Allynn)! ! ! These pictures are just like dessert — better than dessert! ! ! Wonderful job of capturing the spirit of their reactions to “Goowin’s
Balloo-wins” (I know the spelling is off)! ! ! Really, REALLY am enjoying catching a whiff of your experiences through these delightful vignettes! Mega THANKS! ! !
