TAILPIECE
Happiness, as we all know, comes in different shapes and sizes. To a Balinese child, happiness is a Kite. Let it be an ornate fantasy with streaming tail fluttering gaily in the breeze, or a scrap of grubby plastic stretched carefully across a few splinters of bamboo.... And how not The Balinese have a legend that there was once a boy who made a kite so beautiful that an angel flew out of Heaven to play with it. All day the kite and the angel danced together in the sky and when night came and the boy brought down his kite, he found a sleepy angel still clinging to its tail. From that day on, the children of Bali fly their kites, hoping to catch another angel. Should I ever get to Heaven, who knows, perhaps 1, too, will find some small boy with a high-flying kite - to bring me back to Bali - the land of smoking duck and black rice pudding - my patchwork paradise. . |

we must point out a very important distinction which the Balinese make between
two clearly separate groups of ancestors. The first of these groups consists
of the dead who are riot yet completely purified. This group is in turn subdivided
in pirata, those riot yet cremated, and pitara, those already cremated. The
former are still completely impure; the latter have been purified, but are still
considered as distinct, individual souls. The second group consists of the completely
purified ancestors who are considered as divine. Everything Bali Indonesia |
