Back I am from my excellent adventurein the land of the Yellow River

shrouded in the perpetual mist of the rain season (mei yu).

I am still in a waking dream state,
what with the jet lag sleeplessness
and time zone difference that haunts me
on this eve of Daylight Savings Hour.
With the disappearance of time quickly approaching,
I share with you some thoughts from ALDOUS HUXLEY
from "Jesting Pilate: Diary of a Journey" (1926):
"I have seen places that were, no doubt, as busy
and as thickly populous as the Chinese city in Shanghai,
but none that so overwhelmingly impressed me with
its business and populousness. In no city, West or East,
have I ever had such an impression of dense, rank, richly clotted
life.
Old Shanghai is Bergson and with the lid off. It is Life itself.
Each individual Chinaman
has more vitality, you feel, than each individual Indian or
European,
and the social organism composed of these individuals
is therefore more intensely alive than the social organisim
in India or the West. Or perhaps it is the vitality of the
social organism - a vitality accumulated and economized
through centuries by ancient habit and tradition.
So much life, so carefully canalized, so rapidly and strongly
flowing - the spectacle of it inspires something like terror ..."
Still stupefied by the spectacle of Shanghai,
Yvonne.

Her crop was a miscellany
When all was said and done,
A little bit of everything,
A great deal of none.
( Robert Frost, A Girl's Garden )
