Dena, are you ashamed of me? One of your friends didn't know you had a twin?! The first thing I learned how to say in Lwo was "I have a twin and I'm the second born". In Lango district, they have special names for the first born and the second born. I'm not sure which is considered better luck...
"A dream worth having: To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget."-Arundhati Roy, from her speech entitled "Come September"
