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.

Dan in Real Life

I have seen the movie Dan in Real Life over five times.
It is a good movie. The first time I saw it was early August. Now, I own it. This movie is so good, it ranks among my favorite movies. My favorite movies being: Napoleon Dynamite, The Princess Bride, School of Rock, and Sense and Sensibility. Now, Dan in Real Life ranks among those. I think if Steve Carell wasn't in it, it would be one of those independent films that only really pretentious people watch. However, he is in it. Its famous. I thought it would be weird seeing 'Michael Scott' in a movie, but it wasn't. I didn't see Michael Scott: I saw Dan Burns. This movie was both funny and melancholy. It was also a love story.

Francis of Assisi

Francis of Assisi was a fellow who lived in Italy in the 13th century. He is most known for his love for animals and for forming the Christian order 'The Friars Minor.'
Francis was the son of a fairly well-off clothing merchant. In his youth, he partied a lot and was very frivolous in his lifestyle.
However once he was touched by God he completely gave up his old self, and gave all he had to beggars. He even touched lepers. Francis' prayer was "Great and glorious God, and Thou, Lord Jesus, I pray Ye, shed abroad Thy light in the darkness of my mind... Be found of me, Lord, so that in all things I may act in accordance with Thy Holy Will."
In his life, he prayed many more times, but this was in fact the whole mission of his life- to do God's will.
Francis is now known as Saint Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals, birds, and the environment.
It is true, any person can become a saint as long as one is submitted fully to God.
