Gratitude is contagious.
A new year, day and moment allows us to reflect on gratitude.
"It is moving your mind over to this place where I think we should all be, which is to keep our eyes on all that is good, beautiful and possible in the world," said Jacqueline Lewis, a creator of World Gratitude map.
Gratitude and positive emotions expand.
If your legs get heavy, walk with your heart.
Language of unknowing is big.
What we don't know is bigger than time. Bigger than the time we are given to understand it.
People are more affected by how they feel than what they understand.
Longer than tomorrow, time is invisible, anxious.
Time weeps. Time laughs.
Time offers rice to a Buddhist monk.
Time disappears into lost wind whispering in pines along the Black Sea.
Time paints a picture of a Lao lover leaving for distant shores where time washes stones.
i like him.
it's a hungry combustionable combination of lust, loneliness and real.
skin is currency. exchange value and user value.
you can trust maybe 10% in vietnam. they are good at sex. they steal your money.
here it's maybe 50%. we are poor at sex. we don't steal your money.
we steal your _____. down at the crossroads.
he comes to me at mid-day. it is sweltering and sleepy. i welcome him him with fingers on lips...shh.
we go upstairs. we dance naked. when you dance you are truly alive.
we explore geography and invisible borders and silent musical interludes.
i am the silence between notes. harmony, rhythm, and melody.
i am his melody and he is my harmony.
my speech voice is missing. i make rolling guttural sounds expressing metaphors, similes, intonations, frequencies, meaning, sense, time, space, ideas, dreams, relationships, secrets, traditional family values, fear, passion, heart, joy and sadness.
he is blind and i am deaf.

On an edge of planet Earth spinning in a galaxy,
Countries adjusted advertising concepts of insecurity.
They sold Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt, Adventure and Surprise.
Consumers washed it down with a super-sized sugared sixteen-ounce big gulps.
Populations accepted multiple real and imaginary nightmares of unknown caloric proportions.
The sky is falling. Love is in the air. Run for cover.
Really?
The Children's Hospital in Siem Reap has 22 beds in one room. They are full. They are filled with infants and children wearing air hoses in their nose. They suffer from pneumonia and tuberculosis. This is common in Cambodia. A parent holds a tiny hand.
I.C.U. has five beds. They are full.
400 mothers cradling kids wait to see a nurse. The nurse can dispense five medicines. Cheap generic pain killers.
Life is a pain killer.
Two drugs are generic placeboes. The mothers are happy to get SOMETHING, anything. They have no knowledge about medicine.
One effective pill prescribed by a doctor costs $1.00. Parents need to buy 15.
$15.00 is a fortune. Out of the question. Parents accept cheap ineffective drugs.
Parents need a miracle.
How much does a miracle cost?
Na. They met in her village on the outskirts of town down a lost long red dust road.
It’s a miracle not to save anyone. Not to be a rich foreigner in her dead hopeful eyes, who will marry, save, rescue, support and maintain an 18-year old Lolita nymphet.
A brief transitory relationship. Money and time. Passion with the mature knowledge of a young waif’s dreams of a boy, a man, a local seismographic approval allowed by parents. Is her father alive? Men and women tongue desire.
Her form, angular face, soft skin, touch yes she is experienced in the act of love, this cannot be denied, her movements, her sense of touch tactile indicates practice perhaps a moneyed man. Local boys in the dark.
Her beauty and technique allowing her new potentials, not so much about her pleasure as taking care of business in a soft slow way before rushing from bed to douche. Dressing quickly, shyness wraps its arms enveloping her. Down a lost long red dust road.
Inside light with slow fingers and long thin ivory nails they turned clay into pots. Spinning circles danced, turning on a Wheel of Time. They finished throwing them, used them for tribal ceremonies and smashed clay pots to earth.
Clay exploded into air creating volcanic ash coating everything in a fine dust.
