Thoughts on life and the Middle Kingdom: Once again, I have said too much.
http://bitsyinchina.blogspot.com/2010/09/once-again-i-have-said-too-much.html
Thoughts on life and the Middle Kingdom. Friday, September 24, 2010. Once again, I have said too much. So often, I find myself speaking out of turn; saying too much; with words pouring out of my heart unchecked, unbalanced, un-fettered by the dignity or decency of a filter as to what should. Be said. “Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks” has rarely been truer than it is for me. At least, that’s how I feel so often. Did I say good night and part ways with my friend? No No, but it should have.

Thoughts on life and the Middle Kingdom: October 2008
http://bitsyinchina.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Thoughts on life and the Middle Kingdom. Monday, October 6, 2008. A couple of stories from life here in Changsha. Deep Fried for Free. Here in "the 'Sha" there are lots of places with food on sticks. They're these little shops with tofu, hot dogs, steamed buns, veggies, and other things, all on sticks. When you buy them, they drop them in a vat of hot oil and fry them for you. When they pull them out, they paint them in spicy. The boy said. That means, we're giving it to you for free. What? A penny) for ...

Thoughts on life and the Middle Kingdom. Wednesday, August 26, 2009. Wind-y (read long /I/). I'm just trying to get from point X to point Y, and hopefully from point Y home to point A, but it never seems to work out that way, and I end up lost around R or G. I find myself in the car thinking "A ha! I know where that leads! And then, I find I was wrong. Frustrated, and, well, you can see where that cycle leads. And then. it hit me. Grumbling and being frustrated can become. I was so lost in myself and my ...

Thoughts on life and the Middle Kingdom. Monday, September 6, 2010. Wow… bad move. You ever hear someone tell a story or read a post somewhere online—one in which the teller recounts a great triumph in some difficult situation? 8220; The man” tried to stick it to me, but I stuck it to “the man!

Thoughts on life and the Middle Kingdom: December 2009
http://bitsyinchina.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Thoughts on life and the Middle Kingdom. Thursday, December 17, 2009. He is who I thought He was. thoughts on Joseph at Christmas. You ever wonder if Joseph was a bit comforted by "all the things they had heard and seen"? At this time of year, we often think about Mary. Mary who was probably around 13 years old. Mary who was a ponderer of many things. Mary who had seen holy. Mary who had been called blesséd. Mary. But this year I've been thinking more about Joseph. Joseph had a dream that can be found.

Thoughts on life and the Middle Kingdom: February 2010

Thoughts on life and the Middle Kingdom. Wednesday, February 24, 2010. Can I get a quantitative analysis of this choice, please? All of this happened in a moment, and I looked back at the crow and thought to myself, “Well, at least he won’t sound like that when he grows up.” Half a beat later I realized: he was grown up, and he was stuck sounding that way (minus, perhaps, the scratchy throat) for all of his days. He was, after all, a crow. The human mind is a curious thing. Recent research also shows.

Thoughts on life and the Middle Kingdom. Tuesday, May 4, 2010. Part II: Can you feel it? Last night’s queries having given way to sleep; this morning’s sunrise has given way to suspicion. There. Be more to the story than that. When I lived in China, I came across a curious phenomenon. That curiosity was soon lost, replaced with a hopeless acceptance of the inevitable. A copy-this-format culture will inevitably lead to technically beautiful, emotion-less art. Not really. Were they moving? Well… yes ...

Thoughts on life and the Middle Kingdom. Saturday, September 5, 2009. Life at a university never ceases to be interesting. Today, I saw a squirrel on my way to class. That's not so unusual, I suppose, but the fact that he was just hanging out on the back tire of someone's. Bike is what caught my eye. Wish I'd had a camera out and at the ready to catch Mr. Squirrel's circus act. The squirrels on the grounds of the university are innumerable. I live in a place where people are very eco. Whose feet are blac...
