At a young age, learning when humor fits in or when a joke helps, can seem conspicuously tricky.
Later, choosing noodles or rice with that dish and whether to comment on a misstep or not…tricky.
Until being truly present, fully alert and conscious of the moment’s timbre, taste and feel, allow a silky knowing, a certainty that is smooth and unobtrusive.
Let hidden wings of defiant compassion take the strain.
