Getty Museum, Los Angeles

A bit of a let down actually

Having grown up in NY and having visited museums in Europe, I was a bit disappointed when I visited. But what made it all worth while for me: was the sculpture of Camille Claudel: took my breath away! I hope it’s a standing collection.

Wyoming, United States

Every time I have driven across Wyoming,

on my way East or West, or somewhere in the middle, I have absolutely fallen in love with the land there. I don’t know what it is. I later found out it’s the least populated state of the union, even less so than Alaska. Maybe that’s it? I remember thinking that what I came away with after living in Alaska for a summer, was a sense of living in a place that was truly wild, unowned by humans (it felt like this even on so-called private property). I think that experience truly changed my brain, or at least how my neural networks are connected, especially since I grew up in NYC.

After that summer, I felt so confident reading the land, a river, tracks, plants, etc. On a mundane: orienteering and botanical keying, but also on a more spiritual level too. Like I finally belonged in my body, and on this planet.

I’d like to take my kids to WY, and see wild horses too. Will start with a family vacation, maybe eventually move there?

to visit all the Taoist temples and sacred mountains, and feel what it’s like to do qi gong in a place where people have been practicing qi gong for thousands of years. Also, to meet the other lineage holders and my teachers’s teachers. I’m waiting til the girls are older, I want them to come, and I don’t want to be away from them for 6 weeks.

I’d like to go back when they’re much older, to study for a semester, maybe do hospital rounds there, where they practice chinese medicine to the fullest extent, treat more pathologies.

I think my teacher is going next summer, I hope to be ready: financially and emotionally,
