last night i was reading the section of “in patagonia” about the yaghan tierra del fuego language. how through synonym they seem to connect natural features to uniquely human experiences. e.g., “a tangle of trees that have fallen blocking the path forward = a hiccough.” “mussels out of season = old age.”

i wonder if similar relationships used to exist between english words but over time one or the other of the metaphorical meanings was forgotten.

i feel like writing a companion to home ground that’s a taxonomy of emotions felt around different landforms.

of course it would have to be all made up words.

gracias por commentar debbie.

people protest this ‘system’ or that ‘system’ when the real revolution is just not dividing yourself – dividing what you feel and what you say, what you feel and how you act.

dividing oneself is how people allow themselves to conquer and be conquered.

“Notes on having a baby” me hizo llorar. And I agree: why do people think they can interrogate you with questions like “what are you doing here” or “what’s your plan”? I systematically tried different answers. Most of the the reactions were similar… I think most of them don’t care about the answer, which makes the questioning even worse.

I wish you hadn’t included the part about ringing the bell during siesta. I was tempted to stop reading there. The rest of it makes a good story. A take on being Elsewhere that I haven’t heard before.
