" can you put that on my tab? "

---

emotional costs. the ships have docked at the port of comfort. R & R straightaway sir, would you like a room?

meeting people, and really getting to know them deeper than their names and places origin. these are the templates of international friendship. and can you stay and be the same person? can you leave and say that you have not as much changed?

what is it, all of the planning ahead, if you are not yet living in the moment of it all?

the universe passes through another day, and everything seems to be going well.

tonight's homework:

dust off your walking shoes, and take the time to engage the world outside your bubble-life. see the things that have always been taken for granted, and set aside a moment, just a moment, to appreciate that recognition. there's a long way to go yet, and you have it in you to do a little bit of everything if you so wish; the instantaneous and lasting happiness of emotional sobriety.
