hello chinese-russian shoes, i love you

Wednesday, July 15, 2009


My fav $3 shoes from the Chinese market in Vladivostok. I bought a few pair of these as I was leaving the mission five years ago. Then, when Jeff Parker returned from Vlad a year later, he brought me four pair. I finally retired the last of these as I returned this May to the same Chinese market to buy another batch. (No worries, Craghead ol’ boy, I grabbed you a pair too!)

Jaron,
CONGRATS on the new shoes. I have seen you wear those shoes for every occasion and they so beautifully complemented your DI Bing Crosby style polyester leisure pants. I wish you well together in your future travels.
Love you,
AK

confusion, causes célèbres, and spinning apologia

To be nothing in the self-effacement of humility, yet, for the sake of the task, to embody its whole weight and importance in your bearing, as the one who has been called to undertake it. To give to people, works, poetry, art, what the self can contribute, and to take, simply and freely, what belongs to it by reason of its identity. Praise and blame, the winds of success and adversity, blow over such a life without leaving a trace or upsetting its balance. 
Towards this, so help me, God--
[Dag Hammarskjold]
if my thought-dreams could be seen, they'd probably put my head in a guillotine. 
but it's alright, ma, it's life and life only...
