coffee so strong that the neighbors can smell it

When you walk the dead to their graves don't call out, "Come back!" Instead whisper, "Wait for me, I’ll be along eventually." If you wish, you can weep that they are gone, for it is a sorrow, but also smile and be thankful that you had them at all.

You could think of the mind as a field: Whatever you do and think—all of the actions that will lead to happiness or suffering—are like seeds or imprints that you plant in it. When conditions are ripe, a seed will sprout into an experience.

I love Cuban music, poetry from long ago in Japan and China, and art deco buildings in old cities. I embrace the idea of space travel, but before paying for lift off I would have us first make sure every belly is full. And speaking of food, I like hot sauce on mine, and I crave coffee so strong that the neighbors can smell it. Watching the clouds drift across a blue sky pleases me, and so does the sound of an owl late at night. It is good, this life of mine. I slipped into this life like a kind child slipping beneath the blankets on a winter night. I hold my hands up to the moon and stars to give thanks, and the endearing light shines down on me with the sweetest love.
