Don’t Be Sad said the package. The timing couldn’t be more perfect. Boxes topped with boxes my whole life inside these boxes. Goodbye Town. Goodbye State. Oh. Goodbye Pacific Ocean. Our family tree was westward bound but westward we’re no more. Heading East. Heading North. Driving further than I’ve ever. Seeking Peace. Shelter, Sleep. Following dreams, taking pleasures. Spokane, Bozeman, Glendive, Fargo. Twin Cities, Windy City. Oberlin, Ohio. Utica, near Syracuse, Where my mother was born and ran. I’ll pass through it for the first time. She’ll never go back again. Don’t Be Sad. New Horizons Brand new beaches Different places There’s a house called Ceremony Where I’ll sit and be served tea Touching down In my mind Is not the same as when it happens It’s like In trying to prepare myself I delude my self No end Don’t Be Sad. Larger leaf is coming with me All the way plus the kettle and the teaware and the stash And you, my friends 2019 “Don’t Be Sad” Huangpian from @bitterleafteas (by way of @grateful.tea.d ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #bitterleafteas #huangpian #puerh #puerhtea #puerhaddict #puer #rawpuerh #rawpuer #shengpuerh #shengpuer #gaiwan #gaiwans #gongfucha #gongfu #gongfutea #gongfuteaware #teaware #teawares #teawareaddict #justinotherteablog #tea #teastagram #chinesetea #instatea #teareview #teablog #teajourney #teaspiration #teapoem (at Moving On) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgKWom8JR3A/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
