GRACIOUS
My weeks are crazy. But my life is good. I didn't make the ORCA on time, but that's okay. I'm still doing research and am still really open to any ideas.
Oh how i would love to study community nutrition and sustainable farming!
Oh how i would love to devote my time to Tibetian mythology!
Oh how i would love to understand Tibetian idioms!
Oh how i would love to study the roots of Tibetian rhetoric, and find the different Tibetian rhetorical situations- understanding their perception of time
Oh how i would love to live in India for 3 months and research what my heart finds!
Oh, how i would love to wake up everyday and look at growing mountains, find quiet places, meet incredible women, swim in mountain water, pick produce, laugh,
and get credit for it all.
SO-
the western use of rhetoric was conceptualized in terms of individual v.s. state- or more dialectical reasons. does the rhetoric of Tibetan narrative resonate with its political roots? If the epic, or ceremonial story, portrays the values of a culture (as theorized in western literature) how will the values portrayed by Tibetan narratives reflect historical and current Tibetan values?
or
how do you cook a pilaf with all the right ingredients for a 12-year old girl?

the winter is coming. i have three days a week that i can be outside. they have been glorious days, and i know they will get shorter and shorter and colder and colder and then longer and longer and hotter and hotter.
i'm thankful to live in places where seasons live, rather than just pass.
