The World in the Sky and the Universe Above: The Dragon Reference Text of the Nine Species

by Abigail Jacklyn Behrends

Overview

No matter where the dragons are situated or what they do, whether it be in their self-determined home regions, playing their dragon games, being in or around Luck Peak Landing on Luck Mountain, flying the circumference of the planet while exploring places like Crystal Hollow Cave, the Twelve Circular Lake Formations or the Dark Green Pine and Fir Tree Forests, or somewhere in outer space, these are beasts that abound and are a fixed and pronounced feature in the World in the Sky and the Universe Above. Their diverse behaviors and physique cannot be argued to have an astounding impact upon the viewer, and it is without question the creatures who live on the Planet Below have the most extreme emotions when it comes to their thoughts and relationships with the nine dragon species.

This first in a ten-text series is a purposeful intention of a western anthropologically trained woman, myself, to piece together a fun story series based on my interpretations of the dragons that I gained in the cumulative four and a half years when living in Asia, that being Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam, between 2005-2017. I have consciously decided to take a more peaceful approach to the dragons, similar to how a monumental amount of Asians do, instead of the slaying-the-dragon or controlling-the-dragon interpretation. Of the nine species of dragons that will be discussed over the years my biggest desire is for those readers that don't know a lot about dragons to offer some insight into them with at least this one perspective.

Late in her undergraduate career she attended an experiential learning study abroad program called Semester at Sea, boarding a ship in the spring of 2001 that traveled completely around the globe to 12 different countries on four continents. During this time she discovered her love for photography, and as a result her photography work has been displayed at locations such as the National Press Club; the Andy Warhol Museum; Laguna Beach, CA; and independent solo photography shows at galleries in both her home state and the state of Minnesota. Her current photography shows are a visual anthropological examination focusing on women’s empowerment in Asia. One of her photographs has also been published in a book titled Changing Perspective: The Semester at Sea Experience.

She has worked for the state of South Dakota and the state of Wisconsin focusing on archaeology, archiving and library sciences. In addition, her love for photography and working with artifacts brought her to become a photography researcher co-leading a team in the archiving of approximately 15,000 personal family photos, documents, and items for the Robert F. Kennedy family. Some of the photos were used in the five Emmy-nominated documentary film Ethel.

Abigail Jacklyn Behrends has lived in Wisconsin, Minnesota, California, New York, Vermont, South Dakota, and Arkansas while in the USA, and Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam while abroad.
