But it could be a hard question, really. I come into be stuck in stillness of life and start to wonder some beautiful philosophy , or just a thinking maybe. Nothing too serious. Now I just start on my own pieces of peace…
Current happy moments…
Wake up regularly…as my body clock works properly.
Drive my own scooter under cozy sunshine to work.
Occasionally talk to a kind elderly citizen, oh…or just a nice stranger( can’t
talk to some of my friends, they are being too complicated/busy sometimes…)
Walk into a neat noodle house and have a nice bowl of
beef noodles until its warmming up my tommy enough to fulfill a dinner time.
See people laugh genuinely.
Drive my scooter home by sunset.
Pick a good song and play it long enough to make it continue in my head…while I’m reading or editing on computer.
Receive a phone call from my family and hear those familiar voice telling their plain life.
Get tired as I’m supposed to be.
Oh…of course reading on Forumosa sometimes… Sure.
So far, it certainly doesn’t sound productive as it can be, but at an inner poise, life just should be balanced, eh?
c’mon play along, would everybody sometimes run into such ordinary moments and share some with me ?
Well, besides the obvious (beer, my wife, boy and dog), I am always nicely warmed inside when I see either of the following:
A young girl walking down the street and she suddenly smiles or laughs to herself, in an almost shy embarrassed manner… I always wonder what she is thinking of that has made her suddenly happy; and
A dog trotting (you know, the way a dog trots, not runs and not walks, when he/she is contented) down the street, free and happy, looking like he/she knows exactly where he/she is going… I always wonder what he/she is thinking of and where he/she is going…
A warm, open, unaffected smile from a pretty girl who serves me in a shop or passes me in the street. There’s nothing like it to get me humming and floating on air.
Going to a quiet shabu shabu restaurant. It takes an hour+ to finish this and it’s leisurely because I decide how fast to cook the stuff. If I’m stressed, this really slows down and relaxes me.
The GF calling in the evening to say she’s coming over, after my having just opened a cold one (beer) and turned on the teev to watch the last 30 minutes of the UFC… (sounds complicated, but with synchronicity comes simplicity).
Friends who are sober enough to:
a/. be the designated driver.
b/. rescue your lost clothes when you’re out on the piss and misplace a nice jacket (Alien, are you reaqding this???).
LOL! I LOVE those dogs too! They’re always going somewhere REALLY interesting for some REALLY important business and everything is GREAT!
A really simple thing I like is when I come round after crashing out on a stone bench in the park, the Taichi women have left a polite circle round my dribbling form, and for a few hours my three dogs have been like those contented dogs, free to trot around and sniff delightful things without me bothering them or having them on the lead. I also like the way they lay down and sigh when I finally take them home, a kind of “Oh well, he’s sobered up” sigh! Bless!
Sure.
