A Meditation on Water (Juni Style)
Water, water, not everywhere
How many cups of tea do you drink in a day?
How many times do you wash your hands?
How much is every drop worth to you
When you have to carry it on your back?

Gimme Some Slack … Please
I really need everyone to understand that if I don’t get back to them or am not around as much its because I have some serious shit to deal with, like finding a home for a whole freaking farm and move said farm in under 2 weeks!
