Life is like that, full of words that are not worth saying, or that were worth saying once but not any more ....

Less Need, Less Tolerance
Filed Under away from home, from the heart, lil things
I already learned this, but it’s easy to forget: how well one can get by with so little. And I’m not interested in disputes, or uncharitable conversation of any kind.
I’m thinking of my new pair of beautiful, dark blue dishes with the cherry blossom pattern - I bought them just a few days before I left home. All of the sudden, while standing at the sink in my grandfather’s tiny kitchen, I remembered them. But the chicken and rice my great aunt cooked for me didn’t taste any less good in a stained, white, plastic bowl.
