Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
Happy Thursday, one and all! Another sunny day, but I think last night's moon chased away Spring! It's only 5 degrees outside!
.It was 24 degrees just the other day. Oh well, I'm confident that Spring is just waiting for me...
Ahmad's English Breakfast tea this morning, along side a bowl of hummus, Kalamata olives, and the remains of my bad bread... which actually works for this because it almost tastes like pita.

My error, Astra!
Nilgiri is actually an Indian tea, but from the very south of India, near Sri Lanka. Close enough so I mistook it for a Ceylon variety.

At that time I was in charge of a security force protecting the physical plant at a violent worker's strike location. Very high pay, but very scary work with an extremely high worker turnover, stress and casualty related. The strike lasted 13 months, and it was tight wire stress for almost all of it.

I'll bet that he's probably typing away in 'his' forum about the cute girl he sees on the train every morning, and wondering why he doesn't have the nerve to strike up a conversation with you!
Isn't it time you put aside your fears? It doesn't mean you don't '
feel' afraid. It means that despite your fear you still function. You won't discover new worlds unless you are willing to sail out of sight of land...
Set a date. Say to yourself "On Monday, I'm going to say 'hello' to him." That's all. Just 'Hello.' No need to work out clever opening lines. Just 'hello.' Let him struggle with coming up with the conversation starter.
You can do it.
Oops! My cup runneth empty. I like that Ahmad tea, but I think I would like something a little bolder, like a Chinese Black for my second cup...
