Week 5: Settling into a groove

My first few weeks in Kathmandu I moved around quite a lot and was involved in a number of activities outside school. This past week I began at last to settle into a routine, drawing at school in the mornings, painting in the afternoons either at school or in my room. Evenings I spent reading, or listening to lectures (I'm continuing a series from Bhikkhu Bodhi on the Majjhima Nikaya, as well as starting Matthieu Ricard's Happiness).

That means there is not a lot to write about. Which is fine, really. I think most of you coming here do so for the pictures more so than the words. So here are a couple, my latest completed painting and one I will begin working on this weekend, both examples of the auspicious symbols.
