a land of Tibet

Through My Eyes

With all the work in the Grove and our outreach events I haven't had a chance to work much on the sculpture of Tara Drolma. I thought I'd tell about some of the things I've been thinking about in between this and that. The equipment works just fine for showing movies but in daylight the projector doesn't show up properly on the screen. I'm thinking of creating a booth of sorts to go over the screen to shade it! I'm not sure how wide it would need to be so I'll have to try a few different shapes. The smaller the better so there's not a lot more to lug around. Between the projector, the DVD player, the generator, the booth and the screen there will be a lot of stuff. Maybe we can decorate the booth once it's design is worked out! I've set up the webcounter to check for just our site for a Windhorse Project. It actually gets a few hundred visits a month or so, mostly between three and six hundred. In the meanwhile our finances are going just fine although our investing is getting rocked about a bit in the current economic climate along with everything else. That's how it goes I guess but things are going well generally! As Shantideva says,

Like a star an optical illusion or a flame

like a dewdrop or a bubble

Like a dream, a flash of lightening, or a cloud

so should one consider all compounded things

In a simple way it implies doing the best we can and not worrying too much about things because everything only seems to be rather than actually is. There's a lot more to add but as usual two as one we'll add to the notes later beautiful one!
