lotus analog ride

today i practiced the lotus poses of VK. the practice lasted 2 hours; it's saturday. there is a website that helped me keep track of the time during practice. i notice that it was easier for me to know how much time had passed when looking at the analog clock than when looking at the digital clock. the graphic illustration of time rather than digital numbers made my brain process the time quicker.

yesterday there wasn't a taxi available to take me to the neighborhood of the lady i needed to visit, then one that ran into my bike yesterday. a motorcycle driver offered me a ride. we got lost a few times and asked directions. finally he took me up to the door of the lady's apartment, deep inside a low-rise residential complex. i met with her, paying her medical checkup. she was fine; a bit sore on the side of her body. i made moves to give her a hug as i left, which a Chinese lady in her 70s would not expect from a foreigner. she pat my shoulders. the driver took me to my office. i paid him more than i would have paid a taxi, but i was able to do things quickly, with a lot of help.
