Acupuncture [Shannon]
I had acupuncture yesterday from Dr. Wayan. While the pins lit up my neural grid, we talked about Balinese ceremony. He said they were also celebrating their temple anniversary in his village, which is right next to Nyuh Kuning.
Me: They killed 150 ducks today. Sacrifice.
Wayan: So did we.
Me: Satay for the gods!
Wayan: Yes! And for us.
Me: For you?
Wayan: Where is the god? The god is not in the temple. The god is inside us. If we meditate, if we are silent, we can hear the voice of the god. In here. [He taps his chest.] But silence is very boring! We make offerings to practice our creativity. We play music to entertain ourselves. It's for art.
Me: Oh good.
