did she wonder how to please? how to entertain? how to keep at bay the voices that whisper
'you're too young for him, foolish girl, listen to his laughter, his eyes mocking your efforts. young, dumb, nothing to be taken seriously, only nubile flesh'

a child stumbling into an adult world
a map incomplete
a conversation never started-
the years she had not yet lived a burden of silence between them

"...I remember meeting D at 22 and seeing her power and purpose and I see you discovering the same. I see in you the power and intention to grow and be and learn and become. I hear your fears and I hear my own and to them I say: At 22 I see you discovering what I learned at 30. At 22 I see you growing and becoming full in ways that I didn't understand until much later. I see you already becoming a powerful woman with a whole world and life ahead of her. I see someone who can teach me in as many ways as I can teach her. I see that we each have something to contribute of equal value. I see you being open and honest and clear with me in ways that took me years to learn. I see you see through and beyond me in ways that I can't do myself..."

Ouroboros

We would leave his hotel room and get such stares from the Thai/farang couple who worked the downstairs restaurant, that I felt like striking up a conversation with them about their hypocrisy. If I had been a Thai woman, we would have not gotten a second glance. But a farang older man hanging out with a farang young woman- what were they doing? Were they father and daughter? Was she a prostitute? Were they sleeping together?
These imaginary questions and judgments stayed rumbling in my head as we rode down alleys on his motorbike, wind whipping by, talking to him over his shoulder.

i bought the Stanley Kubrick version of Lolita the other day. Amazing book. At some points in the narrative, i felt as if i could relate to Humbert Humbert's feelings. If, even only through this writing, we can understand just for a moment how it feels to be a 'paedophile', then i think it has shocking implications for the possibly hypocritical, taboo-ridden society of today.
