#3. Twas the night before Christmas
And the moon was sitting high
The kids were in bed,
Kissed and snuggled in tight

The gifts were all wrapped
There was love in the air
It only came once
So it was handled with care

The curtains were drawn
The cookies were bit
It was time to blow out
All those candles we'd lit

The kids would soon wake
With laughter in their hearts
We had a big day ahead
And early it would start

Laughter's and squeals
Jumps on the bed
Screaming, "Get up"!
"Get up!" as they fled

Wrappings and ribbons
Thrown everywhere
"Oh, I love you Mom and Dad!"
Neither did spare

Family arrives, Carolers sing
Stories were told
Of childhood memories
This was true love
True love was in the air
And it only came once
So it was handled with care

Now the gifts have been opened
And the food is all gone
The songs were all sung
And the guests have gone home

It was time to get back
To life's normal things
It was time to put away
All that the holidays bring

You'll go to your office
She'll go to her room
He'll reach for his game
I guess I'll grab the broom

Christmas had come
And Christmas had went
It only comes once a year
But it is time well spent #Quote by N'Zuri Za Austin

existing in the wind
and on the breeze of

his life

#9. i often sit and wonder
i often sit and dream
i often
sit and wait
for the one that's just for me
i search the many faces
in the crowds of people i see
exploring,
seeking,
looking for,
the one that it could be.

is it Mister Blue Collar?
is it Mister Too Clean?
is it Mister Holy One
which was made for me?

then i stop and think
of the biggest catastrophe -
what if this man
i'm waiting for

doesn't even recognize me?

#20. For every nine people who denounce innovation only one will encourage it...For every nine people who do things the way they have always been done, only one will ever wonder if there is a better way. For every nine people who stand in line in front of a locked building, only one will ever come around and check the back door. Our progress as a species rests squarely on the shoulders of that tenth person. The nine are satisfied with things they are told valuable. Person 10 determines from himself what has value. #Quote by Za Rinpoche

#23. Every few months or so at home, Pops had to have Taiwanese 'Mian. Not the Dan-Dan Mian you get at Szechuan restaurants or in Fuchsia Dunlop's book, but Taiwanese Dan-Dan. The trademark of ours is the use of clear pork bone stock, sesame paste, and crushed peanuts on top. You can add chili oil if you want, but I take it clean because when done right, you taste the essence of pork and the bitterness of sesame paste; the texture is somewhere between soup and ragout. Creamy, smooth, and still soupy. A little za cai (pickled radish) on top, chopped scallions, and you're done. I realized that day, it's the simple things in life. It's not about a twelve-course tasting of unfamiliar ingredients or mass-produced water-added rib-chicken genetically modified monstrosity of meat that makes me feel alive. It's getting a bowl of food that doesn't have an agenda. The ingredients are the ingredients because they work and nothing more. These noodles were transcendent not because he used the best produce or protein or because it was locally sourced, but because he worked his dish. You can't buy a championship.
Did this old man invent Dan-Dan Mian? No. But did he perfect it with techniques and standards never before seen? Absolutely. He took a dish people were making in homes, made it better than anyone else, put it on front street, and established a standard. That's professional cooking. To take something that already speaks to us, do it at the highest level, and force everyone else to st #Quote by Eddie Huang

#24. Zazen is seated meditation-the opposite of contemplation-the emptying of the mind of all thoughts in order simply to be. In the midst of all evil, not a thought is aroused in the mind-this is called za. Seeing into one's Self-nature, not being moved at all-this is called Zen. #Quote by Huineng

#25. Star light, Star bright
First star I see tonight…

I whispered your name to a star last night
Softly, yet so bold
I closed my eyes, and saw your face
I spoke those words untold

I wish I may, I wish I might
It shouted from my soul
Have this wish, I wish tonight
The wish I can't let go... #Quote by N'Zuri Za Austin
