Small movement class today--only three of us including the instructor. Felt good though. Had a meal afterward that left me feeling wobbly. Napped for a while and then did a round of Qigong. Felt better then and went on to watch a movie.

Watched a Spanish film Butterfly. It was a film about the period when Spain was dealing with its independence. The story focused on a village that was somewhat removed from the major conflicts but that still experienced some of the effects of the turmoil. The action focused on a teacher (who was labeled a communist) and a young boy who was eager to learn about the world. The teacher and the boy became close as the teacher taught the boy the beauty of nature. In the end, the teacher is swept up and taken away. The boy is torn between having to call the teacher names and yelling out the names of some of the creatures he learned from the man. It's a moving story.

Weight training session tomorrow! The onward into the holiday week and its machinations! I'm feeling adrift! Adrift and afloat! Jetsam and flotsam! Debris on the sea!
