this is not a great shot, but it was my last. I was pressed for time and quite emotional about departure. It remains "the last word".

Soleil madrépore

Soleil madrépore ancré dans le lagon qui brûle
De tes rayons d’acier et du frangipanier parfumé
Levain de mes amours et jaillissement vital
Sans ton aurore nocturne le sommeil est fatal

Des pirogues acérées les pêcheurs émergent
Affairés sur le sable se vautrant sur la berge
Et les femmes crient avec au dos leurs petits
Tant de corps ébahis par ta lueur infinie

Au cœur des nuages ta grosseur émerveille
Boule de feu d’un jaune sans pareil
Tu jaillis
Et de tes rayons encore quelques instants je jouis

Bientôt tu t’en iras et dans le lagon plongera
Pour gorger les eaux assoiffées de clarté
Aller reparaître sur d’autres rivages
Et bercer d’autres seins dans ton fuselage

Dans le ciel c’est le rose qui descend
Pour de ses lambeaux d’or embraser les amants
Le jour se fait calme et la lueur douce
Alors que les corps l’un conte l’autre se poussent

L’herbe se repose et les hibiscus dorment
L’air de senteurs imbibé imprègne les peaux des femmes dorées
Et dans le ciel tropical où s’enlacent mille formes
L’eau et le feu cette nuit encore sont mariés

The small French girl at center was very much sought after by the children of the concession, an attraction that made her visibly uncomfortable. The girls were very happy to see us and held one of us by the hand at all times. Only the girls reached out to other women. The men, of course, did not. The girls jumped and danced when we got off the car. We brought some food too. Tourist visits seem to be the highlight of their lives.

I came out of this village thinking that Max Weber has written the most important book in the history of political-economic thought. To his religious thesis must be added the key variables of good governance and women's equality of position, but even those can be traced back to value choices.

the fruit of the baobab tree is also called "pain de singe" or monkey's bread. It is a native remedy against diarrhea.
