The mysterious road to the western gate of Angkor Thom is the only one of the four that is a dirt road closed to cars. It is quiet, with only occasional bicycles or a motorbike passing through. Yet the monumental still rises out of this forest scene, dreamlike and wild with the ringing of wailing cicadas at dusk. I step over tree roots webbing across the red dirt, and 11th century broken stones of fierce asura and naga statues laying in pieces amongst dusty leaves. Monkeys howl in the distance and the frogs are peeping. I am going crazy. This magic is almost too intense.

A 6.5 minute dance offering I did around the full moon days in the currently dry Lion Head Reservoir, at the 9th-12th c Preah Vihear temple high up on a cliff overlooking the plains below. Thank you to the spirits of this ancient and sacred site, felt after many recent years of disruptive and disastrous war and conflict.
