I facilitate English, the language of barbarians in Yangon, Burma.
Ah bliss. I salute the sun every morning from the 8th floor balcony with twinkling stars, flocks of crows and silent burgundy monks clanging gongs.
Wing song.
Bamboo grows strong. Resilient.
Laundry dries faster than a speeding sparrow.

One small life chapter began in Phonsavan, Laos a sleepy, dusty enclave near Vietnam. Laos is the most heavily bombed country on Earth. A planeload of bombs were dropped every eight minutes, 24-hours a day for nine years.
The Plain of Jars wars and scars.
Survivors and archeologists say the jars were funeral containers holding bones of relatives. Jarring fact.
Truth is beyond a shadow of reasonable healthy doubt they were drinking vessels of GIANTS.
I know. I was there 4,000 years ago.
A book entitled A Little BS is what happened more or less.
Phonsavan, Laos
