We need Seto Sensei

Sonny asks me to sum up Yevgeny Prigozhin’s mercenary Wagner Group. After exhausting the Russian prison system conscripts during the Battle of Bakhmut in late May 2023 — Prighozin’s political capital was zero in Putin’s eyes. So Putin de- platformed Prigozhin — that triggered Prig’s mutiny. Prig correctly said that Ukraine’s Zelensky hadn’t shelled Russian civilians in the Russian- occupied Donbas region. And that Zelensky would’ve accepted a deal if “Czar Putin had climbed 

 DOWN from Mt. Olympus!” Prig declared that the practical reasons for the invasion of Ukraine were the top Russian brass

 desire to satiate their ravenous egos — & the military hardware oligarchs to line 

 their pockets. Actually, 

 — talking about himself in the mirror — these were remarkable things to say for Prig — who was responsible for some of the worst atrocities of Putin’s War vs. Ukraine. From Prig’s prison cell in Moscow’s Lefortovo Prison — Prig announced plans to challenge Putin in this yr.’s 2024 Presidential election. But Prig was self-deluded in accepting Putin’s guarantee of physical security. On August 23, 2023, exactly 2 months after Prig’s mutiny started — an Embraer business jet

 took Prig, his military commander Dmitry Utkin, & other mutineers to St. Petersburg. The jet fell out of the sky over the Tver region NW of Moscow that afternoon — disint- egrating midair & killing all 10 people aboard. The debris was consistent w/an air-defense missile strike or a bomb 

 planted on board. Yaroslav Trofimov’s Enemies Vanish [verb] yr. 2024 pages 359-361 & 381. Sonny knows 

 that he who lives by the sword unrighteously (Manu’s & Kimo’s salient Doctrine & Covenants proscription against unrighteous dominion) dies by it. Stoicism slowly gets into Sonny’s soul — cradle to 

grave absorption. Ataraxia — Stoic calibrated emotional tranquility & equilibrium — this is Sonny’s goal — at age 76 & thus far — fighting off prostate C word — Sonny finds comfort in Aurelius’ point that physical death is a return to the eternal elements in Nature. A female reflection

My 51 yr. old daughter’s middle age bracket’s Susan Lieu’s Vietnamese immigrant experience as a child to Santa Rosa CA — “W/out knowing the diacritic mark — my mother — ‘ma’ (Vietnamese) could mean ghost, tomb, mother, newborn rice seedling, horse. I had to uncover the ghosts that haunt the living. My physically beautiful — small business person manicurist pedicurist mother’s impossible ideal of physical beauty — the trauma & grief of female superficial body image

 Ma died from a botched tummy tuck at her emotional peak (middle age). I took photos of tombs that make me understand that the other side 

 is mysterious & outside of my & everyone’s compre- hension! I pray that every family WILL HAVE the capacity to ACCEPT VULNERABILITY AS WE ALL ACCEPT A DRIZZLE 

 FROM THE SKY!

 BUT MY PARENTS & MY FAMILY ALWAYS LOVED EVERYONE AS A NEWBORN 

RICE SEEDLING — THE SYMBOL OF SUSTEN- ANCE & THE #1 VIETNAM- ESE VISAGE OF LOVE . NOT BODY IMAGE

” Lieu’s 140 Lbs.: Beauty Isn’t What it is — road show — in Lieu’s The Manicurist’s Daughter yr. 2024 pages 269-271 & 296-297. So utterly Seto Sensei-like — Susan empties her baggage (opala & all) unto ETERNAL God — “Yes, my genealogy is resilient & resourceful — the right wind at my back. These impulses I feel — tenacity to say the righteous unspoken virtues that need to be disclosed! Bo qua di — let it go. I find so much denial in this phrase. BUT NOW I see its liberation

 It means [Seto Sensei’s Christ 

Aperture] TO FORGIVE. Bo qua di. I have, I do, & I will. And this is just the beginning.

Jackie Liwai Pung was his aunt), Susan Lieu — intrepid wayfarers.

 Bless their hearts. This hard 

 stony stormy life needs Seto Sensei, darling.
