Empty

My intention was to start this post with a "blue sky" and not "empty" but my head really is marvellous empty. And tired!
But really, the sky has been blue the whole day today and we are not spoiled by that this summer here in Sweden.
A good sign for my first lecture in chinese.
First a beautiful walk through some small "forrest" (after a short trip with the train) and along the water, sparkling in the sunshine. What a gift. Having this part of the university so close to water, big trees and stones. Mmmmm ...

And the first lecture? Well, a little bit chaotic! More than hundred students, in group one, some coming too late, some talking, and for what I could see, all young people and me. I really feel privileged, having the luxury to study in the university at my age.

What I most liked was that the professor encouraged us to practice writing so much that we sort of become "high". I have already felt that sometimes during my months of pre-preparing.
I have read somewhere that the chinese children, knowing how to talk and what the words mean, still have to practice  the writing for about two years. Hmmm ... so using some mathematics it will take at least about six years to learn this language. For me. Not bad.

Hopefully I will find time for painting as well. I do believe it will be possible to have two passions in life. At least!!! There will always be a place for my third passion:Tantra and Tao.
