In 1959, Indonesian President Sukarno supported the petition and a Hindu-Balinese Affairs section was officially launched within the Ministry of Religion.

WAKING TO MORNING IN MUINGAPHUCA (1994)
In Memory of Aunt Kate
The fierce buzz
of two black horseflies
mating
over my bed.
Lace shadows
on cement floor,
sunlight
through Irish crochet.
Two goats bleating objections
to my car in the yard,
flee from me
as I open the kitchen door.
A creamy cow grazes
near moss-grown walls;
her calf bumps her udder
with its milk-stained snout,
juts its tongue for the long teats.
There is a calmness
on this rocky land.
My heart tells me
I should stay here forever.
