Ink, Brush, Water

Greetings,

I visit the Cholon market savoring smells of garbage, fish, veggies, vibrant life flow, this human flow.

 

The Thien Hau pagoda. She rides clouds. Our ancestor's spirits eat incense.

Feeling slow and clean in the temple zone.

I found new Chinese ink, stone and brushes. Remembering Mr. Li, my calligraphy teacher in Chengdu, China.

How to stand. How to hold the brush. How to circle the ink stone in water inside the black oval. How to gently caress the brush and black ink along the edge. How to see through the thin paper. How to create simple strokes. How to be the ink, be the brush, be the paper.

Metta.
