You Can Never Drink the Same Cup of Tea Twice

Each cup of tea we drink is an ephemeral experience in time, never to be duplicated again. We can try and come very close, and there are too many factors that change not only with the tea, but with the person we are in the moment we sip.

In this sense, we can never breathe the same air again, kiss the same person, or live the same life. Live is an ever change experience and times is constantly moving.

My philosophy is to enjoy what I have while I have it. To understand my experience will not last forever, regardless if it is very good or very hard in the moment. I never want to stop learning, creating, meeting new people, loving, and growing as a person.

I Breathe

I Breathe,
My heart pounds in my chest,
Trying to relax,
I rearrange my thoughts,
I open the door,
I Breathe.

I walk into the void,
I Breathe.

I watch in my heart,
I write the story,
There is no pause,
My heart breaks,
I Breathe.

A new warmth wells and blooms in my eyes,
Warm wet summer rain,
I breathe.

A tired and content smile whispers across my face,
I fill my cup,
I breathe.

Suggested Reading How to Tame a Fox by Lee Alan Dugatkin

How to Tame a Fox (and Build a Dog): Visionary Scientists and a Siberian Tale of Jump-Started Evolution

This should be an interesting read. I like dogs, but am more into the dogs that are not designed or bread to look a certain way. The designer breading leads to a lot of genetic and behavioral problems. I'm putting it on my to Goodreads list.

Tempted to Get Rid of My Computer

I wanted to share a little piece of  tech with you that has changed my life. I no longer take my laptop to the coffee shop to write, instead I take a full-sized folding keyboard, the iWerkz Universal Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard (44652BL). I absolutely love this little thing. And can now write almost anywhere at anytime. I use mine with my Android Moto G. Between this and the speech to text writing on my phone it has almost replaced my computer. I have had the keyboard for less than a week and already use it more than my computer. The only time I turned on the computer was to do some bookkeeping and stream a show so far. I am tempted to see if I can get rid of my computer. I use a free app called JotterPad to write on my phone. The paid version saves multiple versions and works with the free Dropbox.com app, so I always have my most recent drafts handy, no matter what I write on or where I am at.

Vast as any ocean,
When I look into your eyes,
You fill my soul.

Born Dreaming

I was born dreaming, wrapped in the prefect desire of intoxication with unlimited expansion.

So you can imagine why I screamed my head off when I opened my eyes.
