In Shining Darkness too, there is a scene in Gia
Định, where a Buddhist monk wearing a yellow robe recites an open letter
addressed to André Malraux. I have no idea if Kaiko really heard such a
recitation by such a monk or if this is purely his own creation. Oh, so tough
to read.
My feeling
keeps sinking. Where is this coming from? I feel people leaving me, moving away
from me. A familiar feeling, but I’ve never felt it as strongly as now. I know
I have nothing to blame me for. I know I’m not looking for someone. This may be
only a backlash of Saigon because I was so excited there. Just like how I often
feel after an interpretation job. This week, I have a 3-day interpretation job (Wednesday
to Friday) and four days next week (Monday to Thursday). During the days of
interpretation, I feel tense and nervous, sometimes extremely, but never down.
I hope the people I’ll see this week are nice. (I’ve met and worked before with
those who I’ll see next week.)
