Leaving Sapa by Tran
Singing farewell to friends and strangers I’m reminded of a quote by Georgia O’Keefe, “There are times when one spends an afternoon with someone whom they will never see again.”
We roll inside flying clouds through deep mountain passes, past deep brown running rivers, sculptured terraced green rice paddies. Thin bamboo walled hut homes, teams of boys driving water buffalo home, invisible valleys, f

“The Book of Sand ("El libro de arena"), the character Eudoro Acevedo asks, "What happened to governments?
"Tradition says they gradually fell into disuse. They would call elections, declare war, set tariffs, confiscate fortunes, order arrests and seek to impose censorship, but nobody on the planet obeyed them. "The press stopped publishing their contributions and pictures. Politicians had to look for an honest job; some found their talent in comedy or as witch doctors. The reality was very likely fuller than this brief account.” ...more Jorge Luis Borges |

quote
“Why one writes is a question I can answer easily, having so often asked it myself. I believe one writes because one has to create a world in which one can live. I could not live in any of the worlds offered to me--the world of my parents, the world of war, the world of politics.
I had to create a world of my own, like a climate, a country, an atmosphere where I could breathe, reign, and recreate myself when destroyed by living. That, I believe, is the reason for every work of art. We also write to heighten our awareness of life. We write to lure, enchant, and to console others. We write to serenade. We write to taste life twice, once in the moment and once in retrospection. We write to be able to transcend our life, to reach beyond it. We write to teach ourselves to speak to others, to record the journey into the labyrinth. We write to expand our world when we feel strangled or restricted or lonely.” Anaïs Nin |

“Write in exile.
Write naked.
Write in blood. Ink is too expensive.
Write like you will never get home again.”

“A writer needs three things, experience, observation, and imagination.
With me, a story usually begins with a single idea or memory or mental picture.
The writing of the story is simply a matter of working up to that moment, to explain why it happened or what it caused to follow.
A writer is trying to create believable people in credible moving situations in the most moving way he can.”
