more pictures, please! i just sent off a note to Ying so hopefully she'll contact you sometime before you leave... i don't really know what's going on in her life right now but if you hear from Huang Ying or Iris that's her. also, i got your postcard! it made my week. hopefully we can talk when i come home (june 5-9ish) love mandi
it's a positive statement of sorts, although i've become more Buddhist in my approach and am trying not to attach any sort of positivity or negativity to the statement. who knew i'd find something i believed in?
but it's also a poem from rilke, and this line just happens to be my favorite.
Sacrifice
How my body blooms from every vein more fragrantly, since you appeard to me; look, I walk slimmer now and straighter, and all you do is wait-:who are you then?
Look: I feel how I'm moving away, how I'm shedding my old life, leaf by leaf. Only your smile spreads like sheer stars over you and, soon now, over me.
Whatever shines through my childhood years still nameless and gleaming like water, I will name after you at the altar, which is blazing brightly from your hair and braided gently with your breasts.

How my body blooms from every vein
more fragrantly, since you appeard to me;
look, I walk slimmer now and straighter,
and all you do is wait-:who are you then?
Look: I feel how I'm moving away,
how I'm shedding my old life, leaf by leaf.
Only your smile spreads like sheer stars
over you and, soon now, over me.
Whatever shines through my childhood years
still nameless and gleaming like water,
I will name after you at the altar,
which is blazing brightly from your hair
and braided gently with your breasts.
