From personal account of Soraya Ali--Save the Children's media head--
Of course, our Palestinian colleagues, like Hawa, have long been tirelessly serving their communities, even amidst personal tragedy.
Most of our staff have been forcibly displaced, many have lost close relatives, and all have been impacted by the war. Sameh Ewida, a longstanding member of the Gaza office, was killed along with his entire family by an Israeli airstrike in December.
The brutal war in Gaza has killed over 33,000 people including at least 13,900 children, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
Israeli airstrikes have killed doctors, nurses, teachers and humanitarian workers.
All at a time when needs have never been higher.
We stopped at either Port Said, or Gibraltor--I am uncertain which, and took a spin around the place in a taxi--but didn't get down and walk. My mother was very scared.
Later on the ship, a magician came on board to entertain us. I was 7--and as I still do now, I sat in the front row. It's always important to me not to miss a thing.
My father said,"They are tricks. If you go behind them, you will see how their tricks are set up."
The magician wore a red fez and sat on a small carpet on the floor.
He said Ram Guli Guli all the time.
Ram Guli Guli--Ram Guli Gali--it sounded like an invocation to the god Ram?
In Water of India he poured a never ending stream of water from a silver jug and it went on and on and he never ran out of water and the cup never overflowed.
Then he pulled yards and yards of string with little colored flags on them out of his mouth (that was real easy to figure out) and as a finale, he passed his hand near my knee and the hem of my yellow dress, and pulled a little live chicken out from under my skirt.
However, he did not give me the chicken.
More later--just thinking of the men/waiters--and also waitresses who are nice to me--
and all my mentors, all my life, who are fond of me, and our Tamil doctor--
So the world is a good place--for the most part.

AI Overview
Libyan ship carrying aid for Gaza docks in Egyptian port
Humanitarian aid ships for Gaza primarily unload at Al Arish Port (or El-Arish Port) in Egypt, the closest port to Gaza, where supplies are then trucked to the Rafah crossing for entry into the Strip. While Al Arish is the main port for these sea deliveries, other Egyptian ports like Alexandria have also received aid vessels for onward transfer to Gaza, but Al Arish is the key hub for immediate relief shipments.
Key Details:
Al Arish Port: The primary port for receiving large aid shipments from countries like Turkey and the UAE, with coordination from the Egyptian Red Crescent.
Logistics: Aid is unloaded from ships onto trucks and transported to the Rafah crossing for distribution into Gaza.
Other Ports: Ships sometimes dock at other locations like Alexandria for various reasons, but Al Arish is the dedicated entry point for direct Gaza aid via sea.

AI search results--Genocide in the Bible--
AI Overview
Yes, the Bible contains narratives, primarily in the Old Testament, describing commands from God (Yahweh) for the Israelites to utterly destroy groups like the Canaanites and Amalekites, leading many scholars to characterize these as instances of genocide, particularly in books like Joshua, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, though interpretations vary widely on the intent, nature, and application of these texts. Key examples include the destruction of Jericho and the command to "blot out" Amalek, involving the slaughter of entire populations, including men, women, children, and livestock.
Key Biblical Narratives Cited as Examples:
Canaanites:
In Joshua, the Israelites conquer the Promised Land, often destroying cities and inhabitants completely, as commanded by God to clear the land.
Amalekites:
God commands Israel to remember Amalek's attack and ultimately destroy them entirely, as seen in Exodus and Deuteronomy.
Midianites:
Numbers 31 describes the Israelites killing all Midianite men, including their five kings, as revenge for enticement to sin.
Interpretations and Controversies:
Divine Command:
Some scholars see these as explicit divine commands for genocide, unique to a specific time and purpose.
Contextual Readings:
Others argue these texts reflect ancient warfare, God's judgment on extreme sin (like Canaanite practices), or were meant for specific historical situations, not universal application.
Ethical Challenges:
These passages present significant theological and ethical challenges for modern readers and believers, prompting extensive discussion and varied approaches to interpretation.
In essence, the Bible records instances where God commands actions that align with the definition of genocide—the systematic destruction of a people—though how these narratives are understood and reconciled with concepts of divine justice remains a complex issue.

AI research of my Q--Nevermore Genocide.
AI Overview
The phrase "Nevermore Genocide" most likely refers to one of two things, depending on the context:
1. A Key Plot Point in the Maximum Ride Book Series
In the final book of James Patterson's main Maximum Ride series, titled Nevermore: The Final Maximum Ride Adventure, a central conflict is the imminent human genocide orchestrated by the villains.
The Plot: The main character, Max, and her "Flock" of genetically enhanced human-avian hybrids, discover a plan to wipe out 99% of the world's human population using a deadly toxin.
The Climax: The book ends (before the epilogues) with the world experiencing widespread natural disasters and Max realizing she may not have saved everyone from the catastrophic events triggered by the plan.
Comparison: The book's human genocide plot has been compared to real-world genocides like the Holocaust due to the goal of wiping out a specific, large population group.
2. A Poetic/Political Slogan
The phrase combines the word "genocide" with the famous literary phrase "Nevermore" from Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven," which means "never again" or "not ever more".
The slogan "Never again" is internationally recognized and widely used in connection with the Holocaust and subsequent genocides to vow that such atrocities will not be allowed to happen again.
Therefore, "Nevermore Genocide" could be used in a political or artistic context as a potent phrase emphasizing the call to prevent future genocides, or possibly as a critique lamenting that genocide continues to occur despite the international vow of "never again".
Other potential, less likely, interpretations from search results include:
An episode title from the TV show The 100, "Nevermore".
A type of large, raven-like creature in the fictional universe of the animated series RWBY, called a "Nevermore".
References to the current debate among scholars and activists regarding whether actions in the Gaza conflict constitute genocide, often framed around the "never again" principle.

Asian--mail order brides--novels
AI Overview
Several novels and a graphic novel explore the topic of mail order brides from Asia, often focusing on the historical and modern complexities of these relationships
.

How did Nyonyar Brides get to Burma--AI answer.
AI Overview
Nyonya (Peranakan) brides came to British Burma primarily through
overseas migration from southern China (Fujian, Guangdong) during the colonial era (19th-20th centuries) via sea routes, joining Chinese men who'd settled in port cities like Rangoon; they were part of the broader Nanyang Chinese network, marrying into established communities, not usually "smuggled" as brides in recent human trafficking, but as part of large-scale, often family-sponsored, migration for trade and new life.
Key Pathways & Context
Overseas Migration (Maritime Route): This was the main route for Peranakan migration to Southeast Asia. Chinese men, often traders from Fujian and Guangdong, sailed to Southeast Asian ports, including Rangoon (Yangon) in Burma, establishing communities. Women followed, often through family connections or arranged marriages, becoming part of the local Nyonya/Peranakan culture. Colonial Era Boom: British colonial rule spurred mass Chinese migration, creating established networks for arrivals. Integration: Nyonya brides integrated into the vibrant Chinese diaspora in Burma, forming distinct communities with unique cultural blends. Distinction from Modern Trafficking It's important to distinguish this historical migration from modern human trafficking for brides (e.g., women from northern Myanmar smuggled to China for marriage), which is a separate, darker issue happening today. The Nyonya migration was a large-scale, historic demographic movement of Chinese people, including women, to settle and build lives in new lands.

AI--Virginia Wolf--Stream of Consciousness--
AI Overview
https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRXjenrBubC5hMYeec9ogJ5VXOjaBhIMWjs2orn7LINoFFp3s-J
Virginia Woolf was a pioneer of the stream of consciousness technique, a modernist narrative style that mimics the unfiltered flow of a character's thoughts, feelings, and memories, prioritizing internal life over external plot. She captured this fluid mental experience through techniques like indirect interior monologue, blending narration with character introspection, fragmented sentences, and shifting perspectives, notably in novels like Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse, creating a deep psychological realism that explores identity, time, and memory.
Key aspects of Woolf's technique:
Focus on interiority: Her work delves into the complex inner worlds, consciousness, and subjective experiences of her characters, often exploring themes of class, memory, and mental health.
Fluid, non-linear structure: Rather than traditional plot, Woolf uses associative leaps, blending past and present, dreams, and perceptions to mirror how the mind actually works, creating a "river of consciousness".
Indirect Interior Monologue: She often narrates in the third person but filters the story through a character's specific thoughts, creating a seamless blend between narrator and character voice, as seen with Mrs. Ramsay.
Psychological depth: Influenced by early psychology (Freud), her technique reveals hidden motivations and the contradictions within human nature, making the mind itself a central focus.
Examples: Mrs. Dalloway (exploring a single day through multiple minds) and To the Lighthouse (focusing on the Ramsay family's thoughts during a vacation) are prime examples.
Why it was revolutionary:
Shift from external to internal: It moved away from external events and traditional plot toward capturing the messy, contradictory nature of human consciousness.
Modernist innovation: It was a core element of Modernism, challenging established narrative forms and focusing on subjective reality in response to a rapidly changing world.

AI: Modern assessments of Hitler.
AI Overview
Modern assessments of Adolf Hitler focus heavily on
psychological analysis and the complex interplay of his personality, ideology, and the historical context that enabled his regime. Historians largely agree he was not clinically "insane" in a way that absolved him of responsibility, but rather possessed severe, pathological personality traits.
Psychological Assessments
Numerous posthumous "psychopathographies" have attempted to diagnose Hitler, leveraging historical accounts and modern diagnostic tools like the DSM-5. Personality Disorders: A 2007 University of Colorado study, using an informant-based inventory completed by academic historians, found high scores for paranoid, antisocial, narcissistic, and sadistic personality disorders. These traits suggest a profound lack of empathy and a grandiose self-image, combined with an intense need for adulation and an inability to tolerate criticism. Clinical Syndromes: Other assessments have linked his behavior to various conditions, including: Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Attributed to his experiences as a frontline soldier in World War I, which some researchers suggest shaped his worldview and sense of mission. Bipolar Disorder/Manic Depression: Characterized by alternating periods of elevated mood, grandiose delusions, and intense despair or rage. Schizophrenia/Psychotic Thinking: Some early and recent analyses suggest features like hallucinations, paranoia, and delusions of a messianic mission. Historiographical Perspectives Historians generally view psychiatric diagnoses with caution, emphasizing that they are based on second-hand accounts and cannot be definitive. Leading historians like Ian Kershaw and Alan Bullock argue that while Hitler had an extreme personality, he maintained sufficient control over his faculties to be a calculating and cynical manipulator who deliberately used his pathological tendencies to achieve political goals. The prevailing view among historians is that his actions were the result of a dangerous ideology and an all-consuming drive for power, not simply unmanaged mental illness. New Findings (DNA Analysis) Recent DNA analysis, reportedly from blood samples on a sofa where he died, suggests genetic predispositions for a range of conditions, including autism, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. However, experts stress that genetic scores indicate risk, not a diagnosis, and environmental factors play a large role. The DNA analysis also suggests he likely had Kallmann syndrome, a rare genetic disorder consistent with historical rumors and medical records that he had an underdeveloped testicle and low libido. Overall, modern assessments conclude that Hitler was a highly intelligent, but extremely damaged and malevolent individual whose pathological personality found fertile ground in post-WWI Germany, leading to genocide and global war.

AI reply to Is Tyranny a Disease?
AI Overview
No, tyranny isn't a medical disease
, but thinkers often describe it metaphorically as a societal sickness or psychological pathology affecting rulers and populations, characterized by power abuse, lack of empathy, and destruction, with some suggesting tyrants have personality disorders like narcissism or antisocial traits, while the oppressed suffer psychological damage from oppression and fear.
Tyranny as a societal sickness
Metaphor: Thinkers like Al-Kawakibi call tyranny a "sickness or malaise that affects all classes of society," needing societal remedies.
Psychological roots: It stems from disordered desires, a lust for power, and cruelty, making the tyrant enslaved by their own passions, according to Plato and Aristotle.
Psychological traits of tyrants
Personality disorders: Tyrants often exhibit traits of narcissistic or antisocial personality disorders, including grandiosity, lack of empathy, and disregard for rules.
Behavior: They enjoy violence, reject the rule of law, and seek endless gratification, as noted in Psychology Today.
Effects on the population
Mental health crisis: Tyranny creates a collective psychological crisis, leading to fear, helplessness, and a diminished sense of responsibility among citizens.
Perpetrators: Even those enforcing the regime can become brutalized by constant violence, damaging social norms.
In essence
It's a breakdown of societal and individual psychology, not a virus or bacterium, but it has destructive consequences akin to a widespread illness, impacting mental health and functioning.

C--drama based on life of Lu Bu--founder of Han Dynasty.
AI Overview
While no major
series is solely about Lu Bu, the renowned warlord from the Three Kingdoms era, you can find him featured in historical dramas like the movie Legend of Lv Bu (2020) (focusing on his warrior past) or as a major character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms adaptations, plus games like Dynasty Warriors and historical fiction shows set in that period.

AI--How to become a successful writer--in about 20 hard years--
AI Overview
Becoming a famous and successful writer
requires a combination of talent, discipline, market awareness, and networking. It is a process that generally takes significant time and consistent effort, rather than a single event or a lucky break.
Hone Your Craft and Build a Body of Work
Read Extensively The consensus among successful authors is that you must be a voracious reader, especially within your chosen genre. This helps you absorb plot devices, character development techniques, and stylistic elements.
Write Consistently Treat writing like a job, not just a hobby. Establish a regular schedule and stick to it to build discipline and overcome writer's block.
Study Storytelling Learn the principles of effective writing, focusing on strong characters, unique concepts, and compelling plots. Focus on "showing, not telling," using powerful nouns and verbs, and avoiding clichés.
Seek and Accept Feedback Join a writing community or find a mentor who can offer honest, objective critique of your work. Friends and family offer encouragement but may not provide the critical insight needed for professional improvement.
Be a "Ferocious Self-Editor" Polishing your work is essential. Learn to edit your own work rigorously before submitting it to others.
Publish Strategically and Build a Platform
Start Small Instead of starting with a book, gain experience by publishing shorter works like short stories, articles, or blog posts. This helps you refine your skills and get used to the editing process.
Build an Online Presence Develop a writer's platform with a professional website or blog. Engage with readers on social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, or Medium. Publishers and agents often look for authors with an existing audience.
Network Building relationships with mentors, agents, editors, and other writers is crucial in the publishing industry. Attend writers' conferences or join online communities like Medium or Wattpad to connect with peers and industry professionals.
Consider Diverse Publishing Paths Both traditional publishing (which often requires an agent) and self-publishing are viable options. Many successful indie authors publish multiple books frequently and diversify formats (e.g., e-book, audiobook, print).
Understand the Realities of Fame
Fame is a Byproduct, not a Goal Most enduringly famous writers focus on chasing "resonance" (creating work that deeply connects with people) rather than fame itself.
Timing and Luck Play a Role While hard work is the primary ingredient, luck and the cultural climate often influence which books become sensations.
Patience is Key It can take years, even decades, of consistent work before a writer achieves significant success.
Keep Your Day Job (Initially) Few writers can immediately make a living solely from writing. Be prepared to maintain another source of income until your writing career is financially stable.

The Unsinkable Molly Brown--I've been to her house in Denver--there I bought a tussie mussie holder--
for my aunt in Bangkok who "has everything."
Her daughter said, "You know who will love this? Mummy."
Indeed--I found she had a glass-fronted cabinet full of knick knacks,tchoekes ? I think they are called.
I went to Thailand many times between 2001 and 2010.
I worked with exile and Burmese refugee non-profits, I ate a lot of Thai and Burmese food and tropical fruits and I revived my taste for pickled tea salad.
Each time I saw Aunty, and I tried to see her at least 3 times on each visit,I looked at the items I had given her in her cursiosity cabinet and I felt happy.
I told her about Molly Brown.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Brown
"Oh Aunty, you have everything. I didn't know what to bring you, so I got this."
"You know what it is? You put some fragrant flowers in it and hook it to your belt.
"When you feel faint you smell the flowers."
She was very pleased-"You know how to find something like this."
She gave me a double jasmine from her garden. I kept it a long time. Her daughter my cousin gave me sagar flowers,which came still fragrant out of my shirt pocket years later.
Sometimes she didn't get on with HML--
I guess they got on each other's nerves --
When last I saw her, I told her about the non-profit I worked with ABCD.
"I wlways wanted to open a school on the (Burma-Thai) Border. But you can't open a school without money,
"my co-worker and nominal boss said,'ya te Aunty. Kyun taw yan pone gnwe shar like me."
(I will look for funding. He was an expert international fund raiser.)
"Then they said they were bringing over 40 monks from Burma, for training."
A lot of people get AIDS these days, Aunty, and how do you explain to monks how AIDS is contracted??
Ya te Aunty, there's an AIDS expert based in Chiangmai, we'll call him in.
"But where will we put the monks. Forty!!"
Monks are very high maintenance--the Vinaya Rule says they can't eat after 12 noon. Breakfast is at 4 or5 AM. They need peace and quiet etc.
My colleague said, Ya te,Aunty, we've already found a Thai monastery."
Aunty said, "I heard you are surrounded by friends."
It wasn't always so--I was almost surrounded/drowned by jealous people at work and jealous (mostly female) co-workers in Rangoon.
I mostly did not talk much--I just did my work.
Like Aunty always said, "Lo thu shii, ma lo thu shii."
(There are those who mean well towards you and those who don't.)
From the time I was about 13, and I lost my father, Aunty was one of my closest Elders and Mentors.
Thank you Aunty, Thank you friend from Beirut who drove me to Denver and Molly Brown House. Her name was Christiane S.
Kyi May Kaung.

Brown Univ shooter in custody--gunshots go Pop Pop Pop--not bang bang bang--make a note of it.
Work out in your head, your school or univ what you will do in
1. A home invasion
2. A mass shooting anywhere.
DO NOT PANIC--
play dead if you cannot escape.
A jewelry store heist took place while I was walking near the Univ in W Philadelphia.
Don't scream or draw attention to yourself.
Determine to survive all situations.
If you are in your home or apartment--lock the doors always--turn off the lights and find a room with an alternative formof exit.
Read a lot of survivor stories. Work out what you will do in your head--well before anything happens.

Rumors that Carl Jung was anti-semitic--from wiki.
In an interview in 1949, Carl Jung said,
It must be clear to anyone who has read any of my books that I have never been a Nazi sympathizer and I never have been anti-Semitic, and no amount of misquotation, mistranslation, or rearrangement of what I have written can alter the record of my true point of view. Nearly every one of these passages has been tampered with, either by malice or by ignorance. Furthermore, my friendly relations with a large group of Jewish colleagues and patients over a period of many years in itself disproves the charge of anti-Semitism.[186]
Jung is also known to have possessed an interest in the Jewish mystic tradition of Kabbalah.[187]
We're more Jungian than we realize--from Carl Jung wiki--
Political viewsThe state
Jung stressed the importance of individual rights in a person's relation to the state and society. He saw that the state was treated as "a quasi-animate personality from whom everything is expected" but that this personality was "only camouflage for those individuals who know how to manipulate it".[154] He referred to the state as a form of slavery.[155][156][157][158] He also thought that the state "swallowed up [people's] religious forces",[159] and therefore that the state had "taken the place of God"—making it comparable to a religion in which "state slavery is a form of worship".[157] Jung observed that "stage acts of [the] state" are comparable to religious displays:
Brass bands, flags, banners, parades and monster demonstrations are no different in principle from ecclesiastical processions, cannonades and fire to scare off demons.[160]
From Jung's perspective, this replacement of God with the state in a mass society leads to the dislocation of the religious drive and results in the same fanaticism of the church-states of the Dark Ages—wherein the more the state is 'worshipped', the more freedom and morality are suppressed;[161] this ultimately leaves the individual psychically undeveloped with extreme feelings of marginalization.[162]
Well, Carl Jung's idealized marriage is never reached by most people--why else are there so many divorces or
worse,like murders.
--
AI Overview
Carl Jung viewed marriage as
a profound, alchemical union for individuation, a crucible for balancing inner masculine (Animus) and feminine (Anima) energies, pushing partners past illusions (projections) through conflict to achieve wholeness and conscious growth, not just instinctual comfort. It's a sacred journey where partners mirror each other's unconscious, transforming initial infatuation (projections) into genuine connection and self-discovery, ultimately helping each other become their true selves.
Key Jungian Concepts in Marriage:
Anima/Animus Projections: We project our unconscious feminine (Anima) or masculine (Animus) side onto our partners, creating initial intense attraction but also inevitable disappointment when reality clashes with this idealized image.
The Inner Marriage: The outer marriage serves the inner goal of uniting the conscious self with its contra-sexual unconscious aspects (Anima/Animus), leading to inner balance and completion.
Individuation: The primary purpose of marriage isn't just procreation or comfort but a path to becoming a whole, individual self, a process marked by crises and growth.
The Sacred Marriage: Jung saw the union as a spiritual, alchemical process (the coniunctio oppositorum or union of opposites) where the masculine and feminine archetypes merge, creating something new and divine.
Conflict as Catalyst: Disagreements and suffering are essential; they break down initial projections and force individuals to confront their own shadows, moving the relationship from instinctual to conscious, transformative love.
Marriage's Purpose:
Beyond Biology: Moving past mere biological goals (reproduction) to individual psychological development.
Facing the Shadow: Learning to accept and integrate one's own and the partner's darker, less desirable aspects. Creating Wholeness: Helping each other achieve individuation, allowing for freedom and authentic sharing rather than bondage.
In essence, Jung's theory sees marriage as a challenging, often painful, but ultimately sacred process of self-realization, where the partner acts as a mirror and guide on the journey toward wholeness.

My dissertation is about Systems and Structure--especially authoritarian or totalitarian systems and command economies and how central control leads to run down.
It is NOT--specifically about Burma/Myanmar or Southeast Asia.
It is Political Science and Organization Theory.
I developed my own theory called The Reverse Prismatic.
So the univ press whith rejected me and the Alz bro in law were all wrong-- Bro said it was "too long." I think I just pissed off the female director who asked an anonmymous referee--who wrote "she didn't once mention Ne Win." So what? I called everyone The Power Holder, or the Chief Executive. People reject things they don't understand. If I had had to look for a husband on my own, I would never have married. Enough for today. Kyi May Kaung
It is indeed the highly acclaimed C-drama Sword and Brocade which I watched in 2022--one of the first C-dramas I ever watched.
You should look for it on Prime or Netflix. These clips are hard to string together sequentially, but watching it a 2nd time, I appreciate it more.
Everything is near perfect in this series--
The locations, interiors, exteriors, casting, acting.
It feels like you are actually in the Ming Dynasty, a woman trapped in a powerful family; a man trapped with wives and concubines he does not love; political alliances.
Also,I did not know in 2022 that Zhao Lusi was the female lead.
She has been in many movies and TV series--sometimes I feel too many. But that happens to a lot of artistic people, for instance, painters--sometimes it seems they repeat themselves--or are in competition with their former roles/books/art works.
I try to avoid that. Each piece ideally should have its own message--its own vibe. "It's own color scheme." It's own societal problems, its own struggles.
In casting, actors should not be stereotypical (typecast).

There are still 3-4 common tropes--here.
i. Fall into his arms backwards
ii. hate changes to love
iii. food
iv. "Cinderella"
v. nasty bitches as romantic rivals and sworn enemies.
--But my failed marriage into a Sino-Burmese family was no different. It's just a matter of scale. There are still Burmese men with parallel wives or mistresse,there is no shortage of womanizers.
There's even a term for it--"keeping" for kept woman or man.
(In American English and craft terms,"keepings" are the items like necklace clasps used to make costume jewelry. I don't do metal work. I have designed items made up by Rangoon goldsmiths. I dislike gems smeared with blood.
(I don't do ceramics except paint on greenware--I don't have the space. I seldom think of Burma. I will never go there.)
Fortunately all the women except one who wanted to get into estranged husband's pants are all dead.
Estranged is in his 9th decade.
Writers/artists always win.
Usually they survive to tell the story.
I am the only one in my extended family with an earned Ph D from an Ivy League Univ.
My brother never even did a Masters--I have 2. He has an honorary doctorate from a Japanese Univ.
I didn't do it to compete with anyone.
I just wanted to be good like my name.

Special post DGE Hall--Burma: A History.
https://web.archive.org/web/20050519230755/http://mission.itu.ch/MISSIONS/Myanmar/Burma/bur_history.pdf
I just remembered, I "met" DGE Hall when I was about age 10, while my father U Kaung was Director of the Burma Historical Commission.
I sat in the back seat between Hall and my father as we went somewhere--possibly in our green Humber Hawk.
Hall probably came to see G.H.Luce.
I don't remember anything else--he must have given a talk.
I was very shy in those days--and still in 5th or 6th grade. I only remember Professor Luce vividly, as we saw him fairly often.
Also Luce had the great quality of talking to everyone as an equal.
I remember several readings at his home--The Home for Waifs and Strays. No,he wasn't a waif or a stray himself, but he could have been a rather plump, lovely Santa Claus.
I often wished he was my biological grandfather.
Mrs. Luce (Daw Tee Tee Luce) was an intrepid social worker, winner of a Magsaysay Award, who, wiki says,dressed as a boy and recruited homeless boys to stay at her home.
At their annual meeting, Luce himself who had trained the boys, helped them up and down as they formed tall pyramids.
I never met such a charming interracial couple.
Historian Luce and Economist JS Furnival were close friends and lived there together after Furnival was widowered --Mrs.Luce was often peeling carrots when we visited.
I remember everything they said to me--but won't relate them here.
Burma activist Dr.Maung Zarni once said,"What people discount is love,"
I believe they were true friends of the Burmese people.
In this pdf,p 21--pl read Luce's famous translation of Alaungsithu's Prayer.
I keep finding this prayer and losing it, and finding it again.
Most recently about 2 years ago, I found it again for the 3rd or 4th time by Googling, "Luce,Alaungsithu,sheer athwart."
Would you believe it, I found it.
I have only seen "athwart" once--in this translation.
Only one person, my Seam Reap guide, has ever said the word "smote" in my hearing.
Amazing.
No one,except maybe my aunt, has ever told me they loved me.
But I don't care. I love whomever I wish.
I love my books, other people's dogs and children, flowers, my clothes, my paintings.
I also don't care what others think.
Life is too short.
