tonight as i was on my way to tae kwon do, i looked up at the clouds (it's soothing when i'm in the car to do so, i feel more like i'm outside instead of in a moving box). i felt like i was looking at a work in progress, watching paint being added and scraped off to create the right evening sky. most of the clouds were this blue/grey blur, but there were 3 or 4 that were clear. pristine. exact and perfect. the sunlight bounced off of them and they were white and golden. it was as though someone was just sketching all over the page, and only liked a few drafts and only sort of had erased the rest, leaving everything together.
i'm really happy that nate is taking classes at master chong's, because it opened up the door for me. i'm on this trial membership (because i go back to school and such) and i feel like i'm tapping into something (through tkd). also, nate and i get to work on things together, and i'm trying to be there for him, but looking at him like a maturing young (i can barely bring myself to type "man"), rather than my baby brother. it makes me happy to see how he's doing in the classes, and i like being able to take the family class together with him. i can't wait to see him get his yellow belt, and continue on with it.
speaking of tkd, the korean tigers were here, i saw them for their demonstration, and then today some of the martial artists went to master chong's and visited classes. it's amazing how something that, at its core, is about combat can be so graceful and stunning. i'm upset i won't be going to school here, but rather in binghamton, because i would like to continue training at master chong's--with former korean tigers members on staff, and the atmosphere there (they are really encouraging and and it's exciting to be there)...it's fantastic.
it's 8 8 08! happy lucky day or something to that effect. i wonder what the actual schedule is for the games...
