Pansodan Eaten Alive
The first publication at Pansodan Books is out — a book for intermediate language learners. I have translated and adapted a 1981 short story for Burmese language learning. The story follows a morning in the life of a writer, as he thinks about life.

But of course a buttonhole is but a buttonhole, not an unbutton.

Zwe Yan Naing : Dreams and modernity
Opening on 14 February is the exhibition of Zwe Yan Naing's paintings.
Many of Zwe Yan Naing’s have been of the same woman, a woman from his dreams. He has painted her coyly holding an umbrella, accompanied by lotus, meditating underwater, meeting President Obama, as an old woman sapped by a feeding baby. And a few other things as well. Find out what at Pansodan Gallery from 14-20 February 2012.

My beliefs about art?
It is to reveal many different sensations,
To bring out many different feelings,
Whatever they are
Every feeling is art.
Confront or avoid? Resolve or turn a blind eye?
သတၱိဆိုတာ လိုအပ္ရင္ အသံုးခ်တတ္ျပီး အခက္အခဲေတြကို ရင္ဆိုင္ေျဖရွင္းတဲ့ လက္နက္ပါဘဲ။
သတ္တိဆိုတာ လိုအပ်ရင် အသုံးချတတ်ပြီး အခက်အခဲတွေကို ရင်ဆိုင်ဖြေရှင်းတဲ့ လက်နက်ပါဘဲ။
Courage is a weapon that can be used when needed to confront and solve problems.

With no disrespect to the truly committed
When you are asked to do something for the greater good, maybe ask yourself what is greater, and what is good.

What do you see in the mirror?
Privilege is invisible to those who have it.
..Michael Kimmel
And he went on to explain about a conversation with two women. 'What do you see when you look in a mirror?' he asked one.
'I see a woman!' she answered. She was white.
He asked the other. 'I see a black woman.'
'Oh no,' Kimmel thought, 'I see a human being.'

Uncomprehended realms
Don't try to erase the things that have already been established. Try to go beyond them into realms that we have not yet understood.
