a reflection on warmth and gratitude. it’s 5:20 am and i just got back from dropping my parents off at the Grenada airport. i’m writing this because capturing moments and feelings is important to me. i felt something akin to this when i left the US after visiting my parents over winter break. warmth and gratitude. it just reiterates to me the recurring theme of this year: the power of relationships to inspire and change. even the longest relationships i’ve had with anyone in this briefly long existence, namely that with my parents, can evolve and transmute over time. a simple change in perspective can be transformative.

“Do not pursue the past. Do not lose yourself in the future. The past no longer is. The future has not yet come. Looking deeply at life as it is in the very here and now, the practitioner dwells in stability and freedom We must be diligent today. To wait until tomorrow is too late, Death comes unexpectedly. How can we bargain with it? The sage calls a person who knows how to dwell in mindfulness night and day “one who knows the better way to live alone.”

I woke up last night with a giant cockroach on my face. The end.
