the viz

this is my school.

well, not all of it but this is a really big part of it.

it may not be that much to look at but there is a lot of stuff going on here that one might not notice at first glance. in the left hand corner you can see a girl resting on a bench. she might be there taking a break from the maddness of her class schedule or she might be a vistitor who came to walk on the foot reflexology path but it is most likely that she is studying her pharmacology.

this is our on-campus pharmacy!

i think it might be very difficult for someone to conceptualize what it is like to go to school here unless they are truly in the thick of it...in fact sometimes i don't think i even truly know what it means to go to school here yet ;o)

just today i passed a guy in the hall with a blonde ponytail down to his mid-thigh (carrying a three and a half foot sword) with jay-z blaring in his oversized headphones. that was right after one of my friends finished explaining to me why i must have died from a trauma to my feet in a past life -- and must therefore suffer through the pain of my festering blister a few days longer. i suppose that would make sense considering my aryuved instructor noted yesterday that one's kapha personality has a tendency to settle in the feet -- i really should cut back on the soy ice cream!

it is wonderfully strange to sit in the same classroom where we learn about biochemical pathways, prancreatic enzymes, sympathetic nervous responses and thoracic outlet (inlet) syndrome only to later sit with my classmate and evaluate his energetic field in sync with my own...as obliquely deformed as it is.

i cannot really put into words what this journey has begun to teach me, but i am loving every terribly mysterious step of the way -- and i find myself daily falling more in love with the fantastic Creator of our universe Who has sprinkled beautiful creativity into every last crook and cranny of our crazy world!
