"特别有趣的。当我去云南冒险的时候,大概会见到彝族人,尤其地在巍山彝族回族自治县。可是云南的彝族和四川凉山的彝族不一样,而这首诗是凉山彝族创作出来的。
I need to find a Yunnan Yi-specific text for my travels there later this year. This is not quite as enchanting or as deep as a heroic epic like Hanvueng, but it's still an immensely enjoyable cosmogony." — Jul 13, 2026 11:37PM

Don’t walk behind me… I may not lead
Walk beside me… just be my friend”

“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
