today i woke up at 4:30 am to catch the sun rising in Ankgor Wat. i must be dreaming but here i am carefully picking my way in the dark on the uneven stones. and i cannot resist touching the stone to feel its ancient, slumbering power of a thousand years.
pure awe ...
and now i sit staring at a computer screen trying to put words to the experience. a few minutes ago, a dragonfly was discovered in my hair. during the careful removal, it flew up towards the fluorescent lighting and into the tiny jaws of a gecko.
