I have never been to Sri Lanka, but I hope to go there someday. When I was at LSU, I had some friends from Sri Lanka, who were a lot of fun. One was Tamil, the other was - - the other kind, can't remember what was what or which was which, it was twenty-five years ago. I just know that in Sri Lanka they would have traditionally been enemies. They were roommates with my boyfriend. They were both very good cooks, as well as friends with people from India, we used to have the best curries, very different depending on who was cooking, because they were from different regions. I have never tasted tea as good as the tea one of them got from his mother, shipped in a sort of CARE package. I learned to enjoy maldive fish. This is a sauce made from little fish like herrings, which are buried underground until they rot and ferment. It sounds awful, I know, but it is good, a lot like soy sauce, which is, after all, rotted and fermented soybeans. The Romans used something similar. I saw pictures of some place, a mountain? with vast paintings of deities engaged in acts of intercourse, which I would love to see in person someday. They wore a kind of skirt or kilt around the house, and the one who was from the ruling class told me that his father, who was Queen's counsel, wore one to Court, but he also wore a bowler and carried an umbrella under his arm.

Graystone, You are wrong of course. or Our social contracts blind us. Unless we know our Self. A small grass shack on a beach in Sri Lanka is still not far enough away to escape from your self and reality. A small pointed head fits a newspaper hat quite well. A land where despots where could fish for tigers using men as bait. Endless tropical nights seeking solace in the dark. A herd of sheep, not unlike a nation being led to philosophical slaughter. To inflate my worth as a shepherd is undoable. A local Big Cheese, and those little toasts: "Sieg Heil". FT
