And what is a dojo, you ask? Joe Hyams in his book
"Zen in the Martial Arts" says:

"A dojo is miniature cosmos where we make contact with ourselves -- our fears, anxieties, reactions, and habits. It is an arena of confined conflict where we confront an opponent who is not an opponent but rather a partner engaged in helping us understand ourselves more fully. It is a place where we can learn a great deal in a short time about who we are and how we react in the world. The conflicts that take place inside the dojo help us handle conflicts that take place outside. The total concentration and discipline required to study martial arts carries over to daily life. The activity in the dojo calls on us to constantly attempt new things, so it is also a source of learning -- in Zen terminology, a source of self-enlightenment."

... mail call! ....

I found my camera!  So, here are some of the pictures that I wanted to show you yesterday ...

ONE:



A postcard from Emily in Texas, the Longhorn Diva!  Thanks so much, Emily! I love it!  I think that the stitch markers are the best, too!

(Check out what I sent her here!)

TWO:



Another postcard from RheLynn in Paris, TN (I love that), the KnitOwlI think it's such a great card -- just beautiful!  Click here for a view of the back.  (And check out -- that's my first pop-up window ever.:)  Thanks, RheLynn!

(Check out what I sent her here!)

THREE:



A scrumpti-licious skein of green yarn from Scout, my May Project Spectrum Yarn Swap partner, who has been dyeing up an enormous storm herself lately. I can see why there is a large demand for her yarns ... go check out her brand-new store if you need some for yourself.   :)   Thanks, Scout!

(Check out what I sent her here!)

Phew.  I love nice mail days! Thanks, ladies!

Oh, last but not least, picture number FOUR:



Can you see my left ankle bone starting to peek out?  (This is the question I've been asking all my friends, and the Big Sweetie, daily here ... I just thought it'd be worth asking you as well.)

What a great mail day. I'd love to add to the fun by sending a sample of my new "invention" - would you send me an address?

Um, no, I can't really see the ankle bone. Not unless I squint. Sorry!

You got some lovely things! RheLynn is so gifted, as is Scout. Fun fun fun!

Huzzah! I'm glad you liked the goods and you got a good picture of it! My yarn is so hard to *get* sometimes!

THanks for the store linky too!

Eeeyes, and ... ? And what do they do or say when you ask them?

I looked at my feet and ... you've got fewer blood vessels!

Love the cards and gifts. You, lucky girl!
