look up!


after school, a chai tea latte softens the edges of almost everything, making a cheery countenance
much more likely!

looking above the rim of my mug of frothy transporting substance
this ceiling brings a smile to my mouth . . . .

smiles have a life of their own
bringing light into a space

i've noticed that
people who i don't know
are much more inclined to talk
and to share their stories
if i am smiling . . . .

A smile, a genuine one, makes a world of difference, steven, and a good cup of chai latte.
