acupuncture and quinoa
Added acupuncture this last few months to deal with some personal health stuff. It's totally up my alley. Eastern medicine has a more holistic approach to the body so in addition to needles and herbs, I've been asked to limit my diet and exercise daily. In general, I've been averting wheat, alcohol, caffeine, and sweets, 80% of the time. I've been going for 30-40 minute walks as well as doing 15-30 min of yoga 6-7 days a week. For the time being, I have officially made it a priority above lots of other things I'd love to be doing, but it's been worth is. My body feels stronger and I kinda feel a little younger, haha! Also starting to meditate again, that'll be interesting!
I've had to make "Emilyn friendly food" for a few parties already. This quinoa dish was a good one!

Forms of Paper
Forms of Paper, a very beautiful book. Fran shared her copy with us last semester.
Given a sheet of paper possessing infinite possibilities, what value shall we give it, and what shall we create of it? We are at a loss, first feeling tempted to do one thing and then something else. This reminds me of the strained feeling I had in my primary school days when I had before me a sheet of mino paper and held brush in hand for the first time in my life. We always face a sheet of paper with a mixture of hope and unrest.
Forms of paper are not meant to last and last; they incorporate the pleasure of using them, and even using them up.

Happy Independence Day!
Spent the July 4th evening celebrating Portland style with Kathy in her hood. They say we will have to check out the show Portlandia. :) Walked to the Sellwood Bridge over the Willamette River for this picture perfect view of the fireworks. Sun sets late this time of year, so this was dusk past 10pm. Love that!
