Kwan Yin

Thought I would share a picture of the wonderful little abode my dear husband Richard build for my little statue of Kwan Yin.
It will be installed on a post in front of the little Zen House we're working on at the moment.
A place to be quiet and reflect. A place to practice Tai Chi And Qigong (without the help of the dogs).
It's at the back of our property, nestled next to the little library.
A very serene and peaceful setting, so this female Buddha, the Goddess of Compassion, will be a wonderful addition.
Though we are far away from family and friends, how lucky we are to have found such a nice piece of land which lets us create our own little "paradise".
Hard to find in these difficult and challenging times. Once again, mostly recycled materials are used to create this newest addition to our little "village".
We are deeply thankful ,both for being fortunate enough to have this humble, little place we call home, and for our continuing ability to work on these projects. Though of course not at the speed that was once ours. :) But it gets done. Despite achy bones, especially my dear Richard's. He's worked so hard all of these years, using his body to the fullest. I admire him for getting out of bed every morning, stretching out the aches and pains that plague him, and then moving forward. Often frustrated with hands that no longer want to do the job all the time. But doing regardless, just taking a little extra time. I assist as best as I can and together we manage.
