Puja

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.

what is puja? looks interesting from the pic... perhaps I should read your back journal and not be lazy... off to read your back journal I go.

It's almost mesmerizing just to stare at all those nails in neat little rows... and then the little hammer and a bunch of nails to show the scale, crazy. I can't wait to see this with the coloring added; I really dig the idea and can already see it in my mind.

it's incredibly beautiful.
it's like each nail is a bindhu
embedded in a matrix of maze-space!
it's a learning process, a transformation nailed down
there's a gradient of experience that's uniform in intention
the gradual focusing of tones
shining through a full spectrum of sound-colours

oh man i wish i was a little teeEEEny-tiny critter. you'd know where to find me

*poof*

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.

Damn girl, you need a nailgun! (or would that defeat some artisticness, maybe beating the nails in with a rubber spoon would have more impact or signify the futility of life or some other blandly artistic notion) Anyway, wow. Again, wow. This time with feeling, Wow.

From a distance that could look like some small type in an alien language written really small.

What would it say?

peace.
