Rollcall

Strange word but it seems to be the correct one, i.e. when someone has a large list of names to control that everybody are present, in schools, at the university ... more or less ...
How is it possible that so many persons, especially young ones, want to study Mandarin. About 160 students, wow! From many different cultures. In this small little city. (comparing with Mexico city, New York or what ever) It will be so interesting to participate in this setting. (sometimes I doubt that the dictionary gives an adequate word)

It´s a pity that I cannot bring my computer when I take my daily walks in nature, when the thoughts flow very easy. Today it was raining and happily I put on my new red  rubber boots and rain clothes.
It has become even more important to be outside now, moving and breathing in order to load the whole body with prana. No, I mean qi. I mean life energy.
Prana belongs to Tantra and Qi to Tao. Studying chinese belongs undeniably to the Tao-path.  I have followed the tantra-path some years and also the tao-path. Now I will walk in between the two of them.

Breathing, not just normal breathing to keep on being alive but conscious breathing in order to augment the life-force is essential to me. Especially for my brain as I need to improve my deplorable memory in order to maintain all the chinese characters, their names and pronunciations. Yeah, I will have to breathe a lot!
