"One Art" by Elizabeth Bishop
The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.
I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.
Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

I love how Scott Harrison, founder of Charity:Water works.
He's uncovered a Call, tapped into a positive passion, and created a cause that is worthy, just, humanly and spiritually right.
He breaks down what looks like an impossible task into doable, bite-sized pieces, and invites others to join.
You may or may not decide to support Charity:Water but there is something that we all can do to make our immediate world and the World beyond a better, safer, healthier, happier place.
What are you doing? What are we doing?

There are chutneys and then there are chutneys. And then there are these. #fb
I grew up on hand-bottled chutneys made with unripened mangos picked from Hawaii's backyard trees. Mmm! However, just as I have leapt beyond the confines of our island paradise to explore the great beyond, so have my taste buds.
This article by Monica Bhide posted on NPR opens up the wider world of chutneys and includes recipes for Savory Mini Cheesecakes with Red Pepper and Green Tomatillo Chutney, Green Chutney Chicken, and Mint-Cilantro Chutney.
I especially want to try the mint-cilantro chutney (pictured last here).

I may be the 1,600,638th person to view this video at this post - maybe late for the train, and maybe you've already seen this, so BRAVO for you! But if you have not, this kind of train won't pull out of the station until you are happily on board.
Now, I know at more than 16 minutes long, this video isn't your typical YouTube flash-in-the-pan. But an award winner at multiple film festivals, it's worth every second. You'll see why.
p.s. Smile!
