Tea With Alberta

Alberta rides the bus with me, both in the morning and in the evening, and she lives on the 4th floor of my building. After several conversations on public transportation, I've started visting her at her place. She made me a delicious, fruity green tea (though she warned me that it kept her up last night until very late), and we talked while listening to India.Arie's debut album (which switched to a classy Cassandra Wilson collection).

We talked about trusting God, going with the flow, and lying in the bed of your own making without belly-aching.

It's nice to have a neighbor to visit, someone with whom to share wisdom over steaming mugs.
