Dear Yogis,

The weeks are just hurtling by and we have our first Yoga Luncheon for the year on Saturday at 12 at The FULL MOON SALOON in Woodend.  We have our favourite table, and it promises to be a fabulous lunch as always.  Even if I have not sent you a personal invitation, you can still come.  Please let me know because we have to organise tables and chairs to suit.

WHAT IS W.G.C.D?

I always have a full diary, but now with the opening of my Gallery of Small Things (37 Morris Road, Woodend – 5.30 on the 9th February), I am really really busy and my diary is really, really full.  Yeas ago I instituted a routine that really helped, and i am sharing it with you.  I have a special column in my diary called ‘WHAT GOD CAN DO”.  Things in this column I know are going to be difficult, and I need help to get them done, or I just need help – so I leave them to God.

It works like this – I pulled a muscle in my groin and whilst it has been a nuisance, it is not keeping me awake, but I know it is there during the day…  I had it on my list and when i turned on the TV today the very first thing that came up was an advert for a “between the knees” pillow for night time.  I should have thought of it before, but I didn’t.  Thank you God.   God gets things done, and makes it easier for me to get through my day with ease.  I have to pay attention to little cues of course, like the advert, or people giving useful advice, or things that are on sale at the op shop.  All kinds of cues.

Dear Yogis,

If only you were as excited by the Bhagavad-Gita as I am,  you would not miss an opportunity to read it and discuss it with other interested students.

Along with the “Tibetan Book of the Dead” (and even the “Egyptian Book of the Dead”), they are books to prepare you for life and for death – which is not something you can put off to a more “convenient” moment, and even if you don’t like to think about it, it comes to us all.

Huxley, Ginsberg and even RamDass felt that they,  in taking hallucinogens, had received a preview of heaven and even met God.  Later they realised that preview was available to them in the Gita also,  without the cost of losing jobs and mind.

Many writers and even scientists working today credit mushrooms of various kinds with giving them such amazing experiences that they felt compelled to write about them, research them and explain them to themselves and then their students and the public.  You may not feel like replicating the experiences, but you can get a taste by reading the Gita for instance….

Dear Yogis,

 Friday already and we are encouraging you to come to our yoga luncheon on the 27th (next Saturday – not tomorrow!)

Here is the finished Collette as she appears on the new Tea Bag Original.  I am taking it into the printer this morning, and you will be able to get an A5 print, matted mounted and ready to frame.  I will pop it onto Etsy this afternoon.

The next portrait?  I have got a lovely canvas just waiting, smaller than i would have liked, but I have it, which is good.  I am very tempted to paint a portrait of John Wayne just because as he has such a battered face (and a fabulous hat).  Or I could paint Fran Lebowitz which is what I originally intended – she looks so much like Collette they could be mother and daughter.  I will see them I sit down… I certainly know about Fran’s face.
