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!

Sometimes it’s ok to ask a tree to bend a branch or two, even more ok to demand it with your afternoon voice holding a half-eaten limb of rabbit or squirrel, or whatever children find in the forest these days. Trouble is not in the disagreement, sometimes it’s ok to lose a search or lose [...]
