00| IT’S ALL ABOUT WHAT’S INSIDE YOUR BAG! “
The contents of the bag I am holding:
(1) A box of crayola – minus the black and white.
(2) An extra crayola box (cause I didn’t like to share)
(3) Paper
(4) Magnets
(5) A small vial of iron filings
(6) Extra socks (why?)
(7) String (Again, why?)
This was according to my caregiver growing up. I visited her in Iloilo, Philippines. Mila is now in her late 80′s, ailing, but still remembers the contents of that bag. Amazing!

| DEAR GARDENER |
Oh these piles and piles of leaves crawling into each other, dry. In the shape of a community in brittle-soft distress, decomposition into beauty into nests into dust into ash. This is the pause of nature, this is the breath of life. This is a portrait of you looking into yourself. sam roderick roxas-chua 9.20.2012 [...]

Pressed Leaf You point to the great catalpa and say, Its leaves don’t just fall, they are offered. The process of giving takes a year, sometimes a whole lifetime. An unmarried botanist can tell you why. She may even offer you lapsang souchong, the most quiet of teas. Examine how unnatural flattened things are, it [...]
