waiting for my haircut

Unaffected by affection or estrangement,

Unaffected by profit or loss,

Unaffected by honour or disgrace,

They are the most precious things in the world.

 

-Lao Tzu

 

i am waiting for a haircut in a small village called Echaporã

Ney has another customer ahead of me, while Rogerio looks

through some pirated CDs.

everything is slow and no one is in a rush

there is an old man sitting on the sofa

who looks out into the sunny street

and i look at him and everything makes sense.

 

patience, Grasshoper.

 

my home will be built

the rain won´t wash it away

this moment is all we have

just absorb

sit

watch

and

learn.
