Mantra
"We must treat with love those whom God has placed in our path"
--Linda Hunt, as Billy Kwan
"And, so it begins..."
says Linda Hunt, an actress
playing a man who is also
a dwarf in "The Year of Living
Dangerously", not leaping
tall buildings in a single
bound, just a miniature
'man for all seasons'
thrown from a window
for political reasons.
Blood and gore on a Jakarta
street is not a neat
resolution in this shadow-
play we call life. Shadows
are cast when choices
appear -- to honor, (or not
out of fear it costs dear).
What price sacrifice? If
you have no handle, no clue,
no buzz-- intone the name
of the one who does: Billy
Kwan, Billy Kwan... then
blow out your candle.
