Sometimes I feel this island is a microcosm of the whole world.
Three white cranes flying across the crescent moon
Giant roadside posters "Don't take the smiles from our children's faces. No child sex"
A large family of (endangered, red list) purple-faced leaf monkeys crashing about in the huge kumbuk tree outside my bedroom
Alex, the organisation's driver "my son is in the army fighting for our freedom" smiling a huge smile when he sees me again. "Madam, you now well again and beautiful"

A thin brown cow tethered on a short rope to a coconut palm, bellowing for its lost calf.
