A funny little collection of poetic tidbits. Wonderful and delicious. If there is no self, whose arthritis is this? Be here now. Be someplace else later. Is that so complicated? Drink tea and nourish life. With the first sip, joy. With the second, satisfaction. With the third, peace. With the fourth, a Danish. Wherever you go, there you are. Your luggage is another story. Accept misfortune as a blessing. Do not wish for perfect health What would you talk about?…
VirusHead has been featured at the Bloggapedia blog! A caveat – it’s on a short list of eight of the most opinionated bloggers, out of the some 6,300 listed in their directory.
