c'est la vie


Life is good.
It is the autumn here.
we sing,
in church.
Sometimes as I work at the library, I look out the window, and see a sunset.
Its beautiful, and I want to go out, to enjoy it but I can't because I am working.

My Favourite Types of Tea as of today.

Aloha.
I like tea, a lot. Especially green tea. Lipton is my favourite brand of green tea. Then again, where I live there are not many other brands readily available.
And chai tea-Just Us is especially good and it is also fair trade.
And rooibos. The only type one can get around here is Tetley Rooibos (Vanilla). But it is superb.
And ginger twist by Lipton. I have been drinking this a lot lately because I have had a cold. It probably didn't help the cold, but it tasted good.
You can never beat ordinary old orange pekoe made the old fashioned way though.
By the way, there is only one way to make tea:
the water must be boiled in a tea pot, on the stove. None of this microwave stuff.
And steeped. Always, always steeped. This is just basic knowledge.

if everything happens that can't be done- e. e. cummings

if everything happens that can't be done
(and anything's righter
than books
could plan)
the stupidest teacher will almost guess
(with a run
skip
around we go yes)
there's nothing as something as one

one hasn't a why or because or although
(and buds know better
than books
don't grow)
one's anything old being everything new
(with a what
which
around we come who)
one's everyanything so

so world is a leaf so a tree is a bough
(and birds sing sweeter
than books
tell how)
so here is away and so your is a my
(with a down
up
around again fly)
forever was never till now

now i love you and you love me
(and books are shuter
than books
can be)
and deep in the high that does nothing but fall
(with a shout
each
around we go all)
there's somebody calling who's we

we're anything brighter than even the sun
(we're everything greater
than books
might mean)
we're everyanything more than believe
(with a spin
leap
alive we're alive)
we're wonderful one times one

A Toast

Here's to singing loudly without a care, here's to running down the sidewalk in flipflops, here's to new beginnings. Here's to laughing so hard that you snort, here's to green tea on the veranda, here's to breaking open coconuts. Here's to walking without knowing where to go. Here's to dancing in the rain. Here's to neighbors and here's to friends. Here's to folding napkins. Here's to afternoons at the pool. Here's to green lights. Here's to hugs.
This is for summer, the summer of work and play and rest. This is for freedom, for unity, for hope. This is for cotton-fluff clouds and clear blue sky. This is for daisies and buttercups.This is for a new house, a new church, new people. This is for capture the flag and samosas. This is for living life as it comes, one day at a time. This is for family, all types of family, and unofficial family. This is for jumping insanely high on a trampoline. This is for iced tea and baby eels. This is for dancing to YMCA. This is for the smell of a newly mown lawn.
Cheers for sketchy stuff. Cheers for munibrow. Cheers for poems read in caves, cheers for a field full of flowers.

end.
