I'm delighted to hear about the Jordanian tattoo! Thank you!!!!I had two Afro-American women here today, and last time they were
here, I did Nigerian patterns on them.... and a friend of theirs
recognized the precise village they were from! It thrills me to get
verification that my work is right on target with scholarship and all!
Every so often someone gets snide with me that I haven't "travelled
properly" ... but .... I have picked up one or two things in 12 years
in the research library, and over 600 books in the bibliography.
Damn shame about the PPD slinger.... but ..... if I'm going to be open
hearted about my work, that's just going to happen. I try to make my
peace with that, and the incident with the Jordanian certainly helps
me blow off the crud that comes sliding along. I'd hate to keep all
my work under lock and key.
I truely believe that henna is an behaviour and experience to be
treasured, not a novelty to be acquired.......
