Wanting to see Ilchi Lee

She likes to put on this hat

FINALLY back at the beach!

It has turned beautiful for now. Just pure sunshine and a gentle cool breeze. Gorgeous and what everyone in Seattle has been hoping for and needing in their lives. We made it to the beach today, finally, after a long hiatus. And it was great to be back in the sand and sun, digging around and discovering.
We have been getting out for more walks lately with Hyon and various members of her family. Sometimes Johari will do the stroller but sometimes I just tie her to my back Tanzanian style and start hotsteppin'. While we are walking along the roads, Johari has begun to say to me while I am holding her in my arms, "Be careful of the cars." when a car is coming towards us.
This past week, my friend, Twitney, invited us to see the founder of Dahn yoga that she practices, Ilchi Lee, speak downtown. Julia and Johari got to go to the Benaroya Hall together. In the beginning of the program, before Ilchi Lee spoke there was a couple of demonstrations and an introduction. His picture was up on a big screen behind the demonstrations. The whole time that these were going on, Johari was getting very upset and saying over and over that she "wanted to see that guy" pointing to the picture of Ilchi Lee. She was not going to be distracted or mesmerized by the movements on stage until she saw the grand master of Dahn yoga. We got to see him for a few minutes talking on stage and then we had to go out of the auditorium to play where she could make noise and explore with Julia. I didn't actually get to see or hear much of his lecture but it was great anyway and I am reading one of his books now.
