mornings of life

it is 3:30 am in india. may first. for the past two weeks i have been waking up at 2 am, migrating and documenting an incredible community working remarkably hard, traversing roads and paths brought about by a bend in the road, a fork in the forest or an elevator in a government building.

this morning i migrated a little bit electronically, by no means an experience to be filed in the same folder as walking, but similarly diverging at times with options unclear.

as i've sat here captioned, a royal challenge, bhindi and green beans for sustenance, paani, grapes and a mango to keep me up till now. i am ready to rest for a little this morning.

a blessed song, "Jah Jah ( The Intelligence of Your Mind)" has been grooving and kept me going through and through this early morning. mmm, the beat's hot too...


jah jah
wo yeah, wo yeah

jah jah and nature first made us what we are....
there is no height to which you can climb....

by using the active intelligence of your mind...
by using the active intelligence of your mind...

to do the things that are upright...
to do the things that are right in jah's eye...

if they laugh at you, if they dishonour you...
if they disregard you, or if they disrespect you...

return the compliments with uprightness...
return the compliments with uprightness...

- the viceroys

love and health to all...
