It’s a simple
yet a very profound question. . .
What makes your mug your mug. . . ?
What literally gives it
not just meaning
but it’s sip-ability
It’s amazing even when it’s empty
When it’s your mug
It’s filled with much more
than your favorite beverage or drink. . .
It’s filled with once upon a time in memories
and significant just a moments
and they’re so overflowing
that it can’t help but to be shared
with another
. . .What makes your mug
your mug. . . ?
In just a moment
without even a paused ponder
you know
and sharing what you know
of these sip-abilities
is most holy

THIRSTY QUENCH
Are you thirsty?
Some of the
Coolest
Most refreshing
Deepest cleansing
Absolutely soothing
W A T E R
doesn’t come from a faucet
Doesn’t pour from a pitcher
Doesn’t spill from a glass
Doesn’t cascade down from the sky
Are you thirsty
Sip with your eyes
Drink with your fingers
Gulp with your ears
Have your fill
And then go about
Quenching
Another’s dripless
Yearning
It’s not so much
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME
YOU DRANK YOUR FILL
so much as
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME
YOU QUENCHED A THIRST. . .
If you’re not letting
YOUR WATER
f l o w
you are
stinking stagnant . . .
The Glass That Doesn’t B R E A K
Are your Endings
truly your Beginnings. . . ?
It feels like an easy answer, doesn’t it?
Maybe this is what really makes us
H U M A N ?
These ominous endings and beginnings. . .
these bend-over-laugh-till-you-throw-up-moments
and the I-can’t-stop-crying-instances;
Maybe it’s our insatiable curiosity
or our impending doom gloominess. . .
What makes us
H U M A N ?
What makes you distinctively
human?
Your laugh. . .
Your sigh. . .
Your moods. . .
Your smile. . .
Your tears. . .
Your compassion. . .
Your empathy. . .
Your eyes. . .
Your facial features. . .
Your ability to question. . .
Your ability to answer. . .
what. . .what. . .w h a t. . .
makes y o u h u m a n ?
It’s enough to shatter your pretty glass, isn’t it?
Well in a World of
u n s u r e d n e s s
here’s some fragile trustworthiness:
Your Glass may be shattered. . .but never broken
It’s your
f i l l a b i l i t y
that’ll make sure your glass is never fully empty
a n d
by the way. . .
ohhhhhh what a beautiful g l a s s
Raise it up high
y o u
are a
T o a s t
well worth being made
and
celebrated.
