Puja

[avad]

Just a few more days work and the hammmering part of Puja/Prayers will be done.
Mixed feelings as usual, part of me longing for completion, part of me sad that I won't be working on it everyday anymore, as it's become such a soothing part of my days. But I will make others, and my 'training' is far from over. Still it is difficult to concentrate. To harness my thoughts and work with them. To make a 'sound' with the best of me and send it out.

wow, you must have the sound of hammering nails in your head, with the vibration resting on your wrist.

in a trance...dreams of nailing.

and of course stiffness in the knees and back, must feel good to stand up and reach for the ceiling after 3 hours of hammering.

how smooth it will be to paint, hmm.

hehe. I'm trying to lessen the stress on my wrists..and body in general.I would never hammer for 3 hours straight- way too risky. I hammer one line- used to be one a day,- now that it is up to about 4 a day, they are well spaced out time wise.

Painting- it will get a backround color...during which I can paint right over and around the nails...and then various nails will be painted individually in other colors with enamel...It's not that hard. I'm not creating an image or anything...just sort of paying homage by adding color to them...for me it's similar to lighting candles.
