This morning our formal agenda begins at Three Shadows. Everyone has arrived and we're getting our collective feet on the ground.
My goal is to clarify some of the questions today -- can experience be a guide to learning? Can we see through the screen of our familiar discourse to engage the shared world of cultures that we don't know?
Improbably, the sky is blue. Last night at dinner with an artist who will visit the workshop later in the week I heard astonishment: until three days ago he hadn't seen blue successive blue skies in six months.
I maintain the superstition that this means good luck.
I already feel lucky! And I'm thrilled that you're here in Beijing to explore this with me.
Yesterday at the Lama Temple, in the heat, walking slowly, I decided to take pictures with my camera pressed to my belly at a slow shutter speed, breathing quietly.
