Fifth graders today from Harambee Community Culture School. We marveled at Shiva’s four arms, heard a Tibetan monk who happened to be in the gallery explain the Mandala, walked through the Celebration of Bestowed Glory and looked at the four noble professions. We investigated the scholar’s study and found implements for calligraphy, poetry, painting and music making. We teased out differences between the Greco-Roman influenced Ghandara Buddha and the Japanese depiction of Amitbha Buddha. Both groups were fun, responsive. My questions helped somewhat, but generally I just went with the flow, answering questions, prodding, making linkages. So my project manager can rest easy about this one.
Of course, there’s that highlights tour and another Asia tour next week… But, shh. We won’t tell him just yet.
The second nutrisystem order came. It is a sensible, straight forward weight loss program. It works. Don’t know how much I’ve lost but I’ve gone in three belt notches and can wear pants I gave up on long ago. Tomorrow I plan to weigh in and take my fasting blood sugar.
