Donโt Be Sad said the package. The timing couldnโt be more perfect. Boxes topped with boxes my whole life inside these boxes. Goodbye Town. Goodbye State. Oh. Goodbye Pacific Ocean. Our family tree was westward bound but westward weโre no more. Heading East. Heading North. Driving further than Iโve ever. Seeking Peace. Shelter, Sleep. Following dreams, taking pleasures. Spokane, Bozeman, Glendive, Fargo. Twin Cities, Windy City. Oberlin, Ohio. Utica, near Syracuse, Where my mother was born and ran. Iโll pass through it for the first time. Sheโll never go back again. Donโt Be Sad. New Horizons Brand new beaches Different places Thereโs a house called Ceremony Where Iโll sit and be served tea Touching down In my mind Is not the same as when it happens Itโs like In trying to prepare myself I delude my self No end Donโt Be Sad. Larger leaf is coming with me All the way plus the kettle and the teaware and the stash And you, my friends 2019 โDonโt Be Sadโ Huangpian from @bitterleafteas (by way of @grateful.tea.d ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #bitterleafteas #huangpian #puerh #puerhtea #puerhaddict #puer #rawpuerh #rawpuer #shengpuerh #shengpuer #gaiwan #gaiwans #gongfucha #gongfu #gongfutea #gongfuteaware #teaware #teawares #teawareaddict #justinotherteablog #tea #teastagram #chinesetea #instatea #teareview #teablog #teajourney #teaspiration #teapoem (at Moving On) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgKWom8JR3A/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
