depressed in paradise. full moon lingers overhead a 100 year old Japanese bridge and as i set my luminary in the water my wish fresh off the tip of my tongue the flame goes out and I watch as 1000 lanterns float down and then eventually sink into a channel leading to the great china sea. i’ve never liked christmas.

As I am tasting the sweetness of the world, Vietnam’s dewy kisses grazing my cheeks, I am completely positive that my one true happiness resides in the arms of my beloved. This resolves so much existential angst from my 20′s, all my jitters have faded away to warm feelings of acceptance within myself. I am so fresh off the plane already but already so happy to know that I will be coming home an even more well rounded human. I am inspired by the work ethic of Vietnamese women, their strength and unity within their respective communities is incredible. Women rule here, because they just take what they need, and they bust their asses to get what they want and there is no question or issue of what’s deserved or owed amongst the sexes. People are people here. It’s ok for women to play the role of gentle mother and housekeeper as well as shark like business woman. There is no shame in either role. Physically and mentally they are some of the toughest, they are unapologetic in their hustling abilities and also so full of love and compassion. This is the type of person I want to be. Matriarch to all. Love giver. Light bringer. Work Horse. I am excited for my next season at Jawbone Flats, this trip is precisely what I needed to get ready for my role as leader.

if i could replicate the pleasure i receive from the fingertips of others

with my own hands

i try to rub my own back at night

my hands ill comparison

to warm palms and new digits methodically

lulling

my

senses

within the cusp of awareness and deep sleep

i think to myself

what

a

pity

“Before our white brothers arrived to make us civilized men, we didn't have any kind of prison. Because of this, we didn't have any delinquents. Without a prison, there can't be no delinquents. We had no locks nor keys therefore among us there were no thieves. When someone was so poor that he couldn't afford a horse, a tent or a blanket, he would, in that case, receive it all as a gift. We were too uncivilized to give great importance to private property. We didn't know any kind of money and consequently, the value of a human being was not determined by his wealth. We had no written laws laid down, no lawyers, no politicians, therefore we were not able to cheat and swindle one another. We were really in bad shape before the white man arrived and I don't know how to explain how we were able to manage without these fundamental things that (so they tell us) are so necessary for a civilized society.” ― John (Fire) Lame Deer
