00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:05.920 align:middle line:90%
"Sukdu'a II," Prologue.

00:00:05.920 --> 00:00:09.520 align:middle line:84%
It's traditional to begin
by telling you this.

00:00:09.520 --> 00:00:13.720 align:middle line:84%
This was once Chada's
Sukdu, and in the retelling,

00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:16.239 align:middle line:90%
it becomes my Sukdu'a.

00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:20.160 align:middle line:84%
For the unfamiliar,
Sukdu is story.

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:24.400 align:middle line:84%
Sukdu'a is a story that's
become a personal story.

00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:27.920 align:middle line:84%
And I've decided that this is
akin to how some people build

00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:29.720 align:middle line:90%
familial homes.

00:00:29.720 --> 00:00:30.920 align:middle line:90%
Oh, this?

00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:33.020 align:middle line:90%
It's our ancestral family home.

00:00:33.020 --> 00:00:34.700 align:middle line:84%
My greatest-grandparents
built it.

00:00:34.700 --> 00:00:36.300 align:middle line:84%
And someone built
on 10 additions,

00:00:36.300 --> 00:00:38.640 align:middle line:84%
and another reroofed
and refloored it,

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.960 align:middle line:84%
while another stripped
the interior to studs.

00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:44.440 align:middle line:90%
Isn't it lovely?

00:00:44.440 --> 00:00:46.920 align:middle line:84%
In this fictitious
exchange, I imagine

00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.920 align:middle line:84%
you are looking for
what was once there--

00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:54.760 align:middle line:84%
a rectangle of unfaded
wallpaper, the pawned painting

00:00:54.760 --> 00:00:56.960 align:middle line:90%
now rent.

00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.440 align:middle line:84%
The movement from
Sukdu to Sukdu'a

00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:02.800 align:middle line:84%
necessitates change,
an authorial reckoning

00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:04.920 align:middle line:90%
with what remains.

00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.760 align:middle line:90%
My initial imagining was wrong.

00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:12.480 align:middle line:84%
This is not a house or
rooms that I reorder.

00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:23.290 align:middle line:84%
Here I am moving towards scape-
land, mass- land, place- land,

00:01:23.290 --> 00:01:25.610 align:middle line:90%
fall.

00:01:25.610 --> 00:01:27.490 align:middle line:90%
No.

00:01:27.490 --> 00:01:31.450 align:middle line:84%
Here I find myself in my
time keeping within it.

00:01:31.450 --> 00:01:33.210 align:middle line:90%
That's not correct.

00:01:33.210 --> 00:01:39.010 align:middle line:84%
Here, in March 1986,
Augustine erupted.

00:01:39.010 --> 00:01:43.050 align:middle line:84%
The main plume deposited
1.5 centimeters of ash

00:01:43.050 --> 00:01:45.450 align:middle line:90%
atop Kenai, Alaska.

00:01:45.450 --> 00:01:49.710 align:middle line:84%
Significant pyroclastic
flow was noted by someone.

00:01:49.710 --> 00:01:51.330 align:middle line:90%
I don't know who.

00:01:51.330 --> 00:01:57.130 align:middle line:84%
The subsequent dome growth is
comparable to pre-1883 heights.

00:01:57.130 --> 00:01:59.930 align:middle line:84%
In 1883, the
volcano's north side

00:01:59.930 --> 00:02:03.010 align:middle line:84%
collapsed and
triggered a tsunami.

00:02:03.010 --> 00:02:05.890 align:middle line:84%
Scientists state the
damage was minimal.

00:02:05.890 --> 00:02:09.490 align:middle line:90%
Only a few vessels floated away.

00:02:09.490 --> 00:02:14.170 align:middle line:84%
It's so nice to minimize
loss whenever possible.

00:02:14.170 --> 00:02:16.610 align:middle line:84%
The loss was
related to the tides

00:02:16.610 --> 00:02:20.090 align:middle line:84%
and their patterned
diminishment.

00:02:20.090 --> 00:02:22.650 align:middle line:90%
Thank goodness for low tide.

00:02:22.650 --> 00:02:27.090 align:middle line:84%
I too would like permission
to stop reaching.

00:02:27.090 --> 00:02:30.730 align:middle line:84%
It's nice that the
dome has reappeared.

00:02:30.730 --> 00:02:33.190 align:middle line:84%
Here, what I'm trying
to say is this.

00:02:33.190 --> 00:02:36.370 align:middle line:84%
I've been absent,
collecting myself.

00:02:36.370 --> 00:02:38.010 align:middle line:90%
No.

00:02:38.010 --> 00:02:40.920 align:middle line:84%
What I've been trying
to say is this.

00:02:40.920 --> 00:02:42.000 align:middle line:90%
