When I return to the world xseño days are glorious. The
people, my people, treat me like a king, although sometimes I wish they would
not. Last night we had a feast. We sat outside on big rock tables that came up
from the ground. Everyone was there and Paula sat next to me. Our cups were
always filled with a special kind of zumo, it made my head soar into the air
and my feet tingle. We stayed up late into the night. There are two things I do
not understand. First, Paula brought me to a separate chamber, apart from the
community. What is this chamber? Second, I began to tell Paula about the
problems in the real world, and when I got so flustered she kissed me on the
lips. Well, it went a bit further than this. What will this mean for us? Can
one man stand so much in one lifetime?
