Poker Hands

I’m back at talking about hands again. Clammy hands, now poker hands. Seems like it’s a recurring theme. Recurrences. Why poker hands? Well, I was walking along motivational posters while out for lunch and one said, “The biggest risk is not taking any risk. — Mark Zuckerberg”, and poker is a party game involving risk. …

My Progress

This blog post serves as a check-point to how much I have grown since my journey began. After my awakening of sorts. Which was when I had been awakened to this connection which I share with someone. I’ve never grown this much in a short span of time. The positivity. I’ve made inroads in this …

Clammy Hand of Hope

I’ve been thinking a lot about hands recently. The previous post, Obligations, was originally meant to be titled The Invisible Hand. I just stayed up a little later tonight not because of work but to digest my supper. Could not help myself but looked back at a particular photograph of a friend I’m particularly fond …

Having and Wanting

Part 1 The grass is always greener on the other side. You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. Since changing jobs, I feel that the grass on the other side is indeed greener. My current job does not have everything, but it’s a major improvement. Closer to home, closer to night class, better …

Why Tanuki Bruh

Tanukis come from Japanese culture. These racoon-dogs are believed to bring good luck. They are usually portrayed with big testes. Tanuki may flung their testes over their backs like travelers’ packs, or use them as drums.
