As the Sun sets on the banks of the mighty Irrawady here in the ancient forgotten Kingdon of Amarapura,I cat help notice that this is a world so different from my own ...The past seems so petty,so empty, full of echoes.But here its different.This really is it.The life here.The simple Life.The life that lives off the soil,off a peaceful culture,off religions forgotten.I worry it will all change for the worse..Burma is intersticed in a time warp where strangers give you shelter without rent,where kids run in the Bamar sun talking in complex languages they have created for themselves,where grandmothers smoke weed while reading out the Jatakas,where the dogs seem placid and wise.There is a romance in this country that I havent encountered anywhere else. This is it -The Life India has decided to abandon in a 1.2 billion ratrace to what -I dont know.For now ,I will just stop and breathe as time stays here in Amarapura as it always has----Still.. —
