V... sarah and mom drove to PA. last night to hook up with the family and then on to the wedding. I'll miss the ocean there the most. guess your getting plenty of that. people asking about you and leah. she's in columbia as you know and a big poem came a week ago. I ask her to try and learn the rhythm's of the salsa and maranga there. mom picked up a cd, " the music of oceania"... has some old recordings from different times including the history of the german and new zealand occupations and the songs of rebellion. also cleaning out the garage. found a book" once were warriors " by a new zealand author, alan duff. everyones seems to be in a good place. let's keep it that way with spirit and searing light. love. dada.
