It was true, my mind had wandered off, off from ‘sharp’ and attentive. If I have learned anything from having a female Teacher and a diverse sangha, it is that my ping-pong ball reactions set off, bouncing in all directions with every contact made between us. Some ping-pong balls are more obvious and some are less conscious; some are painted bright yellow, and some are like ghosts.

Each pose was created with a focus on the little details, such as lifelike hands, natural positioning, and realism.

Two people, their digestive systems doing their thing. We enjoy two cups of matcha, each served in a one of a kind bowl. One who both cared for and scolded you, a female figure, the authority, who moulded you from tantruming toddler into a functioning adult? Hōka means Buddhist itinerant monk; the type who would wander around the countryside giving spontaneous teachings. But all our ‘mothers,’ as the one who birthed us, are also the universal source of life, of care, of nutriment. Simple silence and sometimes words bubbling up from the source.
