Tembagapura... (April 2013)


I like this video.  It's only a little over 3 minutes long (took me like 4 hours and 3 attempts to upload), but it pretty well captures a good flavor of how strange our lives are here:  traveling in and out on helicopters, incredible green rain/cloud forests,  spectacular mountains,  a constant stream of ridiculously large unidentifiable heavy industrial equipment,  groups of Papuans chatting exchanging secrets,  children wandering 'n playing around,  firefighters walking around like they're Rebel X-wing fighter pilots,  my new boss scratching his head...  it's all mixed up and chaotic,  everything is happening simultaneously, overlapping, interacting, disorganized, changing, often sparking conflict.
I wish I could write a poem as good as this video.
I welcome your comments.
