Teach to put the world right
Yangon has south east Asia's loveliest park; an hour's boardwalk circuit, flanked by Myanmar's astonishing Bhuddist temples.

Breathtaking moment by moment.

In Yangon amongst the monks.

There were 10: those who live dispossessed lives.

In sodden Yangon, the Tamil tea seller cycles through the city selling tiny cups of sweet tea.

The simple genius of it; the effort; the cinnamon colored tea offered like little votives in the rain.

Wonders of Myanmar.

He will eat.

The Buddah directs me, and I respond.

With Myanmar's dispossessed.

The bell is rung methodically & in time with my heart beat & Yangon turns Hindu & Ganesha looks on & it's like nothing on earth.

Yangon's mesmeric tollings.

Daily, for a dollar, I swim here, at 630.

It took me a year to find. But here it is...the place where I swim off the terrible rage at living in a genocidalists' world.

Not just that it's lovely.

But because in Myanmar, it's served with superabundant loveliness.

Yangon: serene in its suffering.

Today's wound.

What The Buddah teaches me to do for those who suffer.

The intercessory loveliness of Myanmar's Bhuddist culture: in pink.

He sits on the curb weeping; a bring so unfathomably unlike me; removed from me many times over: yet I stoop; bathe the cut; apply Betadine. & I wonder at how I'm an intercessory...able to slip into a Superman-esque pocket universe, to tend a wound; to suggest our humanity is common.

Sublime Bhuddist refrains on bus 62 from Sule.

I'm transformed. It's gorgeous.
July 20, 2025 at 11:58 PM
It took me a year to find it, but now I'm here daily at 6am to swim in a deserted pool...
