more accupunk? sure, why not?

today miss saffron came to the ashram to work on mama's knee again.

mama needed more accupunk sure. polly was fascinated. mama said it didn't hurt & was talking like everything was normal & there wasn't a bunch of needles stuck in her knee & up & down her leg. she didn't even bleed. miss saffron said that's because the needles are so small the skin closes up almost immediately after you take it out.

mama asked polly again if she wanted to try it & this time polly said ok, almost without even thinking. miss saffron held her hand & said close your eyes & take a deep breath, then exhale. polly knows how to do that from yoga & can take a really deep breath. when she opened her eyes there was a needle sticking out of her wrist! it felt like a pinch is all. this will help prevent colds, miss saffron said. i don't think i feel anything yet polly said & they laughed. it was only a little bit scary. when miss saffron took the needle out there was a tiny speck of blood but it didn't hurt one bit.

then polly got bored & went out the garden to play with her jump rope in the snow.
