I best express myself through movement.
Don’t know. Sorta feels good. Sorta stiff and that, but once I get going… then I like, forget everything. And… sorta disappear. Sorta disappear. Like I feel a change in my whole body. And I’ve got this fire in my body. I’m just there. Flyin’ like a bird. Like electricity. Yeah, like electricity.

Treat your ears right. Listen to this track.

Damn, this is good. Listen to this. You won’t regret it.

We settled over hot tea and other illustrious things. 
Any slight rain calls for a batch of slow-brewed tea. We talk while the leaves seeped a soothing aroma, light yet distinct. In a matter of minutes, the water changed moods from clear to a hazy auburn. Even the steam calmed to a soft flow of silk strands.
There is something about tea that can transition polite chat to a profoundly deep conversation. We are as careful with words as we are handling the cup, for both have the ability to burn our tongues. 
Although the liquid dissipates, the dialogue does not. We let candle light continue where the tea aroma left off and relaxed while the soothing auburn burned slow to the core.
There is something magical about tea. 

agreed, some of my most profound conversations spawned from tea sessions.

Among other things, you’ll find that you’re not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You’re by no means alone on that score, you’ll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You’ll learn from them- if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It’s a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn’t education. It’s history. It’s poetry.

What do I miss?

After my parents’ divorce several months ago, I had to experience many many changes. Of course there were the emotions and life perspectives I had to confront and reevaluate. But what dug under my skin were the little alterations that took place within my house. It was difficult getting used to my dad not living here anymore as I was experiencing the post-grad life and moving back in. For the last time, my parents helped me pack and unpack my things. For the first time, I said goodbye to my dad and watched him drive away after wards. Watching my house change within the past couple months was one of the most difficult things I had to experience this year. I miss how the household dynamic used to be. Here’s a list of the little details I miss the most.

  1. his snoring
  2. reading the magazines he leaves in the bathroom
  3. not being scared of walking to the bathroom late at night because my dad always left the tv on
  4. the shepherds pie he makes for Thanksgiving
  5. his signature steak he cooks for me on special days (when I get good grades, when I come home to visit, or just because he knows I want it)
  6. well his cooking in general
  7. discussing/analyzing/criticizing food when we go out to eat… yes I have a lot of food related memories with my dad, if you have not caught on
  8. family pictures around the house
  9. seeing his shoes next to the front door
  10. saying goodnight to him before I sleep
