How to be precise

     kurdish black tea with rose & cardamom from Murî ( rating: 3.6/5)  not usually a fan of astringent black teas but i liked how deep its sapidity still was, righteously balanced with the floral.                                                        Slicing ginger root yesterday urged me to consider why the verb "gingerly" is derived from the plant.

favorite emily dickinson poem

Have you got a brook in your little heart,  

Where bashful flowers blow,  

And blushing birds go down to drink,  

And shadows tremble so?  

   

And nobody, knows, so still it flows,        

That any brook is there;  

And yet your little draught of life  

Is daily drunken there.  

   

Then look out for the little brook in March,  

When the rivers overflow,          

And the snows come hurrying from the hills,  

And the bridges often go.  

   

And later, in August it may be,  

When the meadows parching lie,  

Beware, lest this little brook of life         

Some burning noon go dry!



-Have you got a brook in your little heart
