Humour is part of the meaning of life

One of my all time favorite poetry books is "I Heard God Laughing" "renderings of Hafiz" by Dan Ladinsky I chose this one while thinking of you all

A Barroom View of Love

I would not want all my words
To parade around this world
In pretty costumes,

So I will tell you something
Of the Barroom view of Love.

Love is grabbing hold of the Great Lion’s mane
And wrestling and rolling deep into Existence

While the Beloved gets rough
And begins to maul you alive.

True Love, my dear,
Is putting an ironclad grip upon

The sore, swollen balls
Of a Divine Rogue Elephant

And
Not having the good fortune to Die!

At least I can say I know to read it onyomi. Now, if that's anything close to how it's actually pronounced in Chinese or what kind of Chinese that is I do not know.

Hǎoxīn rén nǐ hǎo
The pinyin above is Mandarin
好心人你好
That is just written Chinese language, no dialect applied

We had planned to go to the local cafe for breakfast but she has decided putting make up on is too much like hard work so I should make her eggs benedict

I tried to order a set last year, but I couldn't find the proper size.

I was thinking of the "union suit"

Created in Utica, New York, United States, it originated as women's wear during the 19th-century United States clothing reform efforts, as an alternative to constricting garments, and soon gained popularity among men as well. The first union suit was patented in 1868 as "emancipation union under flannel".

Shorts and t-shirt weather here but that 95% of the time for me anyway.
