What a treat to read such intelligent observations in such articulate and trenchant prose.<br /><br />Reading your blog makes me wish I might have taken a course from you... <br />Does "moriolekafa" come from a language of Papua New Guinea? <br />You have mentioned spending time in the Highlands there. I am a retired Foreign Service officer and from 1997-1999 PNG was among eight South Pacific island nations whose political-economic fortunes were my reporting/analysis responsibility. An orientation trip there was (regretably) limited to Port Moresby, hardly a showcase for indigenous cultures...<br />Anyway--may you continue to enjoy good health and a keen mind for many years, and may you continue to write your blog for your own pleasure and that of people who are complete strangers to you.<br />Cheers.
