That's why there's a f'ing statue in New York Harbor. The way to greet a new immigrant family in your neighborhood is to have them over for a potluck dinner. "Welcome to America, please share your food. Let's bring our spices together and learn about each other."

If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
If you can do all these things,
Then you are probably the family dog.

If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time,
If you can overlook when people take things out on you when,
through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,

If you find a way, let me know. And stop the constant music stream too, plz. Hard to meditate with all that racket.

I've never met this person (The video had elements shot separately from the band), but I'm treating this as a gift of connection. Something we all need these days. And when the Universe gives you a gift, be grateful and damn sure act on it.

That kid is now 15 and this person always felt bad about leaving the thread unanswered. So, he reached out. And we've been having the best conversation about kids and life and everything the past few days.

We briefly caught up and looked for the video. We then lost touch. A few days ago, he wrote back, 14 years later. Shortly after we had originally communicated, he had his first child and life went there.

Oh heck no. But also, kid has to be reminded that athletic shorts are not an all-weather outfit.
