Ask me something you would like to know about me

@Boeing well said..

Perhaps surrendering to the current is its own kind of wisdom.

We may not control the momentum, but we can trust that even the waters we didn't choose can carry us somewhere our soul needs to be.

Nice chat.

@Punxi likewise Punxi ~ we are both seeing the ocean isn't it, approaching the Great Ocean 🌊

Thank you and, if you allow me, despite the odds and all ~

I love you

@Boeing.... odds and all.

I love you back.

@robingoodfellow it was developed by a eunuch who've trained with monks - is a unique blend but not so popular - I've learnt it whilst staying for a year in a kung fu school in China.

I have learnt a few forms, but there's a lot into it, yet with what I've learnt I have enough materials to study for another decade - the first form (taolu) is about opening the body and realizing the various directions.

It really is advanced so it is not taught to someone who is just beginning, but usually someone who has like I had already years of practice into a different style.

Baguazhang is an internal martial arts - I am not allowed to teach that one though. Shifu said no, he though gave me his blessings to teach Qigong.

Back to baguazhang, the second form includes walking in a circle, you walk in a circle for long, trying to realize a center. In the beginning you design the circle on the ground, as you practice you are able to feel the circle.

It really looks peculiar. This circle walk, where you change the positions of the hands each time you are changing the direction of your walk, is a form of meditation. After you rotate around and around for days and hours your perception of space and time changes.

Third form is the swimming dragon - this is very demanding, placing the body in weird positions and especially the spine, twirling and swirling, deeply and rotating.

Then I was taught a forth form which is heavy on the body as it requires a really heavy weapon - basically you learn to use the forces, so you're not expected as much to use your muscles to move it around, as much as the forces of momentum, earth, etc

There was another form with a giant pole that I didn't get to, but the heavy weapon was already heavy on me enough. My whole spine was in pain back in the days!

@Boeing thank you for explaining, it's really cool and impressive how deep you are in all this.

@robingoodfellow thank you I take the comment as a compliment 😊 though I am far from being a master, I just keep on training somewhat humble, somewhat proud, somewhat struggling and somewhat joyful 😹

@Bexsy I particularly enjoyed China - there is something about the way things are so very different there - but at the same time, always people, two hands, two feet, drinking tea 😌

@Bexsy their flower gardens were huge and amazing, it was the only time in my life I have actually gotten drunk on flowers - I would never thought it possible, but I got a high !!

@MrBrownstone An artist like Castaneda's Toltecs - believing that reality is my Artistry

@Boeing Love to hear more.

@MrBrownstone I believe there's no barrier between fantasy and reality and yet there is, and both are of equal importance. I try to live by my morals, lead from my heart and create accordingly to my heart, who I truly am, and I am discovering more and more of parts of who I am and it seems I can go on forever doing that!

I know I am not precise, like artists shouldn't be, so I must be doing it right lol

@Hinckley the short answer is Everything!

there are many answers, depending on where I am -

In the moment, I want nothing, for all is here

in the Greater scheme of events, I want to be part of that Great Current, which I already am, but I am not always necessarily perceiving it

In a more grounded manner, I want what all mediums play on: Unconditional passionate romantic Love, Fame and recognition as an Artist, alongside making impact through my work and a ridiculous amount of Money

Oh and a house in a forest

And a healthy body

And to discover everything, to understand everything

@Boeing Well said. Two more years of him, then maybe we can try to rebuild ourselves.

@SleepingWithGhosts I'm planning to visit next year, so you'd better do so..:)

@Boeing If you come visit Iowa, let me know!

@SinlessOnslaught we also eat snails!

@Boeing

@SinlessOnslaught It isn't weird at all, we eat lamb in the UK and Norway too. I presume they eat it in New Zealand and Australia as well.

@MrBrownstone No, Boeing is a flying Being 0 ~

@V00dooLovesTheMoon to the depths of the soul of that ex boyfriend - I'd rather not go there again, once was enough

@HumanEarth ah you got me at my weakness! I can only drive a bicycle!
I feel ashamed and it's troubled my life in many ways but it is like that for me!!?

This was honestly the only thing I could think of that someone else probably wouldn't ask. I'm a huge manual transmission fan, I've been driving sticks since I was a kid on my grandparents farm. There's just something about the power and control you get that an automatic doesn't quite give you, and I really love that.

@Iknowyourouttheresomewhere I change so much really but let's say, I always had this predilection towards painting the inner world and have always been less interested in realism. But I find reality precious 💕

I just think part of my mission is about making the unseen seen.

@Boeing That’s such a beautiful way to put it, making the unseen seen. I love the distinction between being drawn to inner worlds while still finding reality precious. What kinds of unseen things do you most want your art to reveal?

@GoFish oh no I have missed this, is SW organizing it lo

@Boeing no some other lady posted it just google free trip to Finland for singles lol

@NerdyPotato yes absolutely yes.... I am waiting for it to happen!!!

@Boeing waiting isn't going to make that happen. You have to choose to stop moving 😋

@NerdyPotato you may think it is a matter of choice but once you carry the momentum, it isn't as simple..... 🌊 But I trust that I'll be placed at the right place, at the right time 😸🫶🏼
