TAO 61~The Yang Side: October 2012
http://baronessoftao.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
TAO 61 The Yang Side. And on the other hand. Where the other half of me holds forth! Monday, October 22, 2012. Week 3 of Batty Observations. For more than three weeks I've been watching Charlotte in her web. I concluded that it is "Charlotte" because the Wizard observed, "It's probably female.males are tiny, and she's probably eaten her mate by now.". Charlotte, decorating for the season. To complete the look. I wasn't sure there were. Bats in Hawaii, but indeed there are. This one looks like a leaf.

TAO 61~The Yang Side: Pieces of Time
http://baronessoftao.blogspot.com/2013/06/pieces-of-time.html
TAO 61 The Yang Side. And on the other hand. Where the other half of me holds forth! Saturday, June 22, 2013. The Wizard mentioned today that his faithful and handsome Bulova Accutron. We began talking about watches then, and their associations with status and practicality. The great and less-than-great-but-adequate names. I have a nice conventional Wittnauer. A child of Bulova. That my mother gave me when I graduated from college, engraved with my initials and the date on the back. It is very simila...

TAO 61 The Yang Side. And on the other hand. Where the other half of me holds forth! Monday, October 7, 2013. Sit-down Comedy: A Running Gag (Part 2). Bee Taoist Jia Ye (and a tiny Sufi), September 2013. I would like to know the story of this. This is like finding a statue of Lao Tzu in a mosque. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This is a worn tile, picked from a stream in Wudangshan. It uncannily resembles the Neijing tu. View my complete profile. The Wizard, husband of 45 years. Dao House. of di...

TAO 61~The Yang Side: December 2012
http://baronessoftao.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
TAO 61 The Yang Side. And on the other hand. Where the other half of me holds forth! Friday, December 21, 2012. After enduring all the new-agey nonsense surrounding the perfectly routine solstice (despite its very nice numerological rhythm, 12/21/12), I am vowing to hold tranquility in my hands, my heart, and mind in 2013. Tranquil as a stone. That sounds like a good thing, because I was more concerned about the negative association of "4" in Chinese. My Wizard of 44 years! Saturday, December 15, 2012.

TAO 61 The Yang Side. And on the other hand. Where the other half of me holds forth! Monday, October 7, 2013. Sit-Down Comedy: A Running Gag (Part One). Once again, this year in Wudang, I was initially suffering from blockages. Two years of office work, hours and hours cramped in planes and trains, and changed diet, left me quite constipated. It's very hard to sit and meditate well with that kind of blockage. Wudang Tai Chi class in Nanyan Temple courtyard. I was directed back to the entrance to the temp...

TAO 61~The Yang Side: Full Circle
http://baronessoftao.blogspot.com/2013/09/full-circle.html
TAO 61 The Yang Side. And on the other hand. Where the other half of me holds forth! Monday, September 30, 2013. What goes around, comes around, they say. I don't generally like those kind of pop Taoish karmic statements, like "It is what it is" and "Go with the flow" and "Be like water." But there is some truth in them. Transited through another security and passport check at Incheon to make another tight connection to Beijing. Maybe time for another airport-wifi-supported email on the iPad. It was like...

TAO 61 The Yang Side. And on the other hand. Where the other half of me holds forth! Sunday, December 22, 2013. Excess yin, fresh new yang. Does no one appreciate quiet any more? And I will call him San Dantian.". Bodyguard played by Song Jae Rim;. A swordsman who likes cats. Seems just right for the solstice.) The drama actually has a plot about black and white magic performed by shamans and Taoists. The court wants to abolish the shamans and Taoist office of rites! Because they were unrecognizable,.

http://baronessoftao.blogspot.com/2013/06/summer-solstice-big-moon-again.html
TAO 61 The Yang Side. And on the other hand. Where the other half of me holds forth! Friday, June 21, 2013. Summer Solstice, Big Moon, Again. Pivotal moments. Cycles continue. Summer solstice, another super moon. Next cyclical event of interest to me will be the late August return of the kolea. From their hopefully fruitful summer in Alaska, heralding my own planned departure for a cyclical China retreat. The beautiful if invasive albizia. Have been exceptionally profuse and fragrant this year. Lao Hu, T...

TAO 61 The Yang Side. And on the other hand. Where the other half of me holds forth! Saturday, February 9, 2013. New Year's Eve, Yin Style. I was in Chinatown yesterday, primarily because I wanted to buy some Chinese ink, but it was all festive so I wound up with door couplets, some snacks, a couple of movies that my Chinese video vendor had put aside for me (knowing I will buy anything she puts aside for me), and some Year of Snake T-shirts. And salted black beans. I was clearing out vegetables in t...
