Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.


Enga mellom Fjella




Sentinel

         Marked
                   as if you own me
I bow before the Bitterroots
and just like you
                   my rocky soil, my withered grass
                   lays prey to the empty sky.

I do not want to write a blog.

There's nothing to write about that pertains to me. My life has been boring for such a long time.

But the rice is cooking, so... I made a mix of rice and lentils, added lemon pepper, garlic parsley, and the onion and green beans I had boiled with lavender. I try not to cook the same thing twice. I use whatever mix of spices comes to mind. Or whatever's suggested by googling.

When I go to Thailand I'll have to try pig's brain, steamed egg, bingsu. All the dishes I've seen in the Thai TV series I've watched. I'll learn how to say "no chili peppers", ไม่มีพริก ครับ, "mai nee prik krap" (always be polite).

I'll have to smile... all the time.

I'll never be allowed to show anger. This reminds me of Costa Rica. *sigh*

I'll have to forgive myself every time I make a mistake. That could be daily.

November would be nice.

2022?

That's also a good time to visit Bengaluru in India.

So I repeat myself. I've written about this before and will again.

When I send postcards and post pictures I'll feel alive again. I can tell y'all about how places sound, taste, feel and smell. *Laugh*

TV series are nice but they can't bring you the experience of stinky tofu (which tastes much better than it smells).

In the meantime, I'm learning a lot about Thai Culture by listening and watching Thai TV. I'm also watching "Let's Learn Thai", which has a whole series based on colloquial language used in BL series (Season 9). This is the very first episode of Season 1 (it begins with politeness):



Ah... my late dinner is done and fortunately so am I.
