Upamti, mala, kada ti sjećanje postane važnije od života, upamti taj čas, to znači da si došla na pola puta, govorila mi je baka, ona koja me, prema kavenim terminima, naučila snalaženju u vremenu. Drugi dio puta ćeš se samo ispitivati i nastojati ispraviti greške prvog. I kad skontaš kakva si bila drugima, a kakvi oni tebi, dođe kraj. Poravnato. Đe si bila, niđe, šta si napravila, znaju drugi. A ti znaš da nisi popila kafu s nekim s kim si trebala. I da si se zajebala.

Bio je to njezin svijet: precizan, jasan i satkan od sjećanja na one koji su sjećanje na sebe zaslužili. Život u šolji kave. Gust, crn i vruć. I začinjen uvijek istom pogreškom. Nepopijenom šutkušom s nekim s kim je to trebalo učiniti.

Ukuhana kava, u koju su upisani pažnja, ljubav, strpljenje i vrijeme, rijetko se pije. Sve je manje onih koji je potražuju, sve je manje onih koji je znaju pripraviti.

Kava acts as an appetite suppressant. Ideally, for kava to do its wonders, one shouldn’t eat for three or four hours prior to imbibing.

In life, even after planning perfectly, getting advice from experienced people, following the procedures and trying so hard, sometimes our poori doesn't comes puffy. So either learn the trick or keep preparing chapatis

Vrtićari su odlazili na spavanje. A ja, pripadnica njihove generacije, sjedila sam sa ženama u godinama i pila kavu. Istina, s puno masnog mlijeka i puno šećera, istina i iz male šolje, ali ipak pravu. Pravu, bez imalo glumatanja.

I doubt we we'll find anything," he told Jason, though he was watching O'Dell's reaction out of the corner of his eye. "but you can never let the dog know. She takes her leads from her handler."

And that this search is going to be more interesting that piss on a fence post.

Našu djecu čeka život – surovost, borba, nadmetanje, imperativ savršenstva u svemu, ista menadžerska odjeća, isti naučeni smiješak, ista priča o profitu i istim šefovima koji će i dalje tajiti svoje ljubavnice. Čeka ih život, a ne slavljenje života.

Let’s start with simpler stuff. Like, what’s your favorite color?” “That’s easy. Yellow.” “Yellow? You never wear yellow.” “No, but I enjoy looking at it. Anything that’s yellow is usually cheerful. Daffodils, baby ducks, the sun. It’s hard to see yellow and not smile.

Njihovi potomci danas savjetuju jedni druge kako vlastitu djecu ne treba milovati po svilenkastoj kosi, kako im ne treba pričati bajke. Mora ih se pripremiti za život. Možda nas naši stari danas promatraju iz nekog nebeskog kuta i žaloste se nad našim tumačenjima velikih riječi.

Njezina smirena biografija ne bi danas bila zanimljiva ni psihoterapeutima ni piscima ljubavnih romana. Jer, tužne trenutke vlastitog života gospođa C. prihvaćala je pomirljivo, ne tražeći njihovo korijenje u djetinjstvu i ne određujući traumatične točke potaknute postupcima bližih i daljih predaka.

காதல் வெற்றியென்பது எல்லோருக்கும் அமைவதில்லை… காதல் தோல்வியின் வலியை உணர்ந்தவர்கள் மட்டுமே காதல் கைகூடும் ஆனந்தத்தை மதித்து உணர முடியும்… ஒவ்வொரு மனிதனுக்குள்ளும் எங்கோ, எப்படியோ, என்றோ ஏற்பட்ட ஒரு காதல் உள்ளத்தின் ஓரத்தில் கலப்படமில்லாத தூய நினைவுகளுடன் புதைந்து கிடக்கும்…. இந்த வேகமான வாழ்க்கை ஓட்டத்தில் அந்தப் பக்கங்களை ஒருமுறை திருப்பிப் பார்க்க முடிந்தால், அவர்கள் நிச்சயம் அதிர்ஷ்டசாலிகளே!

To je bila dokolica u godinama u kojima je izgovaranje riječi život praćeno ponosom i vjerom. A kad je život postao nešto drugo, nešto što treba izdržavati, u čemu se treba nadmetati, nestalo je i prava na dokolicu. Laptopi, siva izglačana odijela, svilene dizajnerske kravate, šoping centri i restorani brze hrane izgurali su riječ dokolica. Uz sve to ne ide dugo ispijanje kave. Jednostavno, ono ne podnosi brzinu i trenutak.

[Õpetajanna] leidis vihikus vajaliku lehekülje ja jätkas: "Teate, lapsed, kirjutame väikese südamliku kirjandi vabal teemal: "Ma armastan loomi." Vabaks jutustamiseks ja selleks, et te midagi segamini ei ajaks, annan ma teile kava." Ta kirjutas vihikusse vaadates kriidiga tahvlile: 1. Kuidas teie koera nimi on? 2. Kas ta on valge või must või mingit muud värvi? 3. Kas tal on kikkis kõrvad või lontis? 4. Kas tal on pikk saba või lühikeseks lõigatud? 5. Mis tõugu ta on, kui see on kodus teada? 6. Kas ta on hea koer või tige? 7. Kas sa mängid temaga ja kui mängid, siis kuidas? 8. Kas ta hammustab või ei? Kui hammustab, siis keda? 9. Kas isa ja ema armastavad teada? 10. Mispärast sina armastad koera? 11. Kuidas sa suhtud teistesse loomadesse (kanad, haned, lambad, hirved, hiired ja teised)? 12. Kas sa oled kunagi põtra näinud? 13. Mispärast lehma lüpstakse, aga põtra ei lüpsta (koduloomad ja metsloomad)? 14. Kas on vaja loomi armastada?

Umjesto cvijeća, a nekako sam nespretan s tim, donio sam vam najbolju bosansku kavu. Gledao sam vas na sastanku s koliko užitka pijete pravu, rekao mi je prije dvanaest godina muškarac koji će obilježiti najvažniji dio moje biografije. Pružio mi je jutenu vrećicu. Sličila je na djetinjstvo, na tetu, na susjedu i na priče koje su bile dopuštene mojim ušima. Nijedno cvijeće ne bi zamirisalo takvom nježnošću kakvom je zamirisala kava u vrećicama boje cvjetića na mojoj šalici. Poslije ove ne pristaje se ni na jednu drugu, pojašnjavao mi je gledajući kako se omađijavam otvarajući jedan od četiriju paketića. Popili smo prvu, baš tu, njegovu kavu. Nakon toga prestao mi je govoriti vi. Dolazio je iz Sarajeva jedanput na mjesec. Umjesto cvijeća nastavio je donositi kavu. Pila sam je sve više i više. Vjerojatno zbog toga da bih je potrošila što brže i da bi dolasci onoga koji je s pravom upozorio da se nakon kave u narančastim vrećicama teško pije neka druga postali učestaliji.

Kako mu je bilo moguće objasniti nešto od one napetosti bez daha, kada nož počinje da para prvi rez, kada se poslije lakog pritiska javi uzani, crveni trag krvi, kada se tijelo kao kava složena zavjesa razvije pod iglama i kopčama, kada se oslobode organi koji nikada nisu vidjeli svjetlosti, kada se kao lovac po džungli ide po tragu i iznenada u razorenim tkivima, u čvorovima, u izraslinama, u pukotinama, nađe ispred velike grabljive smrti - kada se u borbi sa njom ne može upotrijebiti ništa drugo sem tankog sječiva i igle i beskrajno pouzdane ruke - kako mu je valjalo objasniti šta znači to kad kroz sve blještavo bjelilo najviše koncentracije odjednom udari u krv tamna sjenka, veličanstvena poruga koja kao da otupljuje nož, čini iglu lomnom a ruku teškom - i kada to nevidljivo, zagonetno, kucavo - život naglo počne da sahne pod nemoćnim rukama, raspada se privučeno nekim avetinjskim, crnim virom koji je nemoguće dostići i zaustaviti, kad od lice koje je još maločas disalo i bilo JA i nosilo ime postane bezimena, ukočena obrazina - tu besmislenu, buntovnu nemoć - kako ju je bilo moguće objasniti i šta da se tu objasni?

Život u kojem su riječi ljupkost, čestitost, predanost upisane u pradobne činjenice prošlosti materinjeg jezika. Uz njih, ravnopravno, ponosna u svojem ladanjskom vrtu, možda i uz domaćinov bazen, stoji i riječ dokolica. Ona zna da je nekada bila prva pratilja riječi život, da je slijedila prije ili odmah poslije nje. Pripremala je bića za velike događaje, u njezinu krilu rađale su se ideje, ona je otvarala vrata ključnim trenucima velikih biografija i osiguravala vrata ključnim trenucima velikih biografija i osiguravala prostor i vrijeme kasnijim analizama i ocjenama. To je bila dokolica u godinama u kojima je izgovaranje riječi život praćeno ponosom i vjerom. A kad je život postao nešto drugo, nešto što treba izdržavati, u čemu se treba nadmetati, nestalo je i prava na dokolicu. Laptopi, siva izglačana odijela, svilene dizajnerske kravate, šoping centri i restorani brze hrane izgurali su riječ dokolica. Uz sve to ne ide dugo ispijanje kave. Jednostavno, ono ne podnosi brzinu i trenutak.

Na trećem krevetu sjedile su moja i Željkina mama. One bi svako jutro zajedno popile kavu, jedanput kod nas, a drugi put kod njih. To je bilo oko pola osam, kad mi odemo u školu, a vikendom ili praznicima dok spavamo. Ta prva kava protekla bi u tišini i kad sam bila budna, ja bih se pravila da spavam. Čulo bi se jedno - Bok - onda klopotanje vode u kuhalu, svaka bi popušila po dvije cigarete, to sam znala jer sam brojala okretaje kremena na upaljaču, nekoliko uzdaha, možda jedno tiho: -Jebem ti život - i - Aj bok.

- Karui pas mane irgi yra atskiras stalčiukas, - atšauna. - Aš jo bijojimui visada skiriu kokias dvi minutes kas trečią dieną, nes karo aš rimtai bijau - kaip kiekvienas normalus lietuvis, gyvenęs prie ruso. -Bijo? -Taip. Esame maža tauta. Mes turime būti ir jautrūs, visada pajusti, iš kur vėjas pučia, nes gyvename ant ciongo. -Kad nepertrauktų? -Ot...Kad netyčia nepapūstume prieš vėją, - juokiasi. -Istorija mūsų juoda. -Kaip kava. Be cukraus...

A large wave now approaches the base of the cliff, and a gigantic bua tree, covered with fragrant blossoms, springs up from Avaiki (nether world) to receive on its far-reaching branches human spirits, who are mysteriously impelled to cluster on its limbs. When at length the mystic tree is covered with human spirits, it goes down with its living freight to the nether world. Akaanga, the slave of fearful Miru, mistress of the invisible world, infallibly catches all these unhappy spirits in his net and laves them to and fro in a lake. In these waters the captive ghosts exhaust themselves by wriggling about like fishes, in the vain hope of escape. The net is pulled up, and the half-drowned spirits enter into the presence of dread Miru, who is ugliness personified. The secret of Miru’s power over her intended victims is the ‘kava’ root (Piper mythisticum). A

Also a good B complex vitamin taken with food can help support neurotransmitters in the brain that are responsible for stress management, and have worked well along with the new changes in my day to day life. Herbs are also a good way to fight mild to moderate Anxiety levels. Unfortunately my anxiety levels were so high that herbs didn’t do much for me, but they are definitely worth experimenting with. Kava Kava is a fast acting de-stressor that also acts as a joint pain reliever. Valerian Root is a good remedy for moderate anxiety and can be used to treat nervousness, insomnia, and high blood pressure. Finally, Chamomile, which is best used in tea form and is great for its calming influence on the mind, especially for people who have trouble sleeping.

The marines even gave their canine comrades a military rank one notch above their handlers to reinforce that the dogs receive and deserve respect.

Očajavala je, često joj se činilo da je njezin život pravi pakao, ali nije znala kako da si pomogne. Dugo je krivila nas, svoju djecu: odvojili smo se, otišli smo od kuće, ne marimo više za nju kao nekada, otuđili smo se (posljednje je bila njezina fraza). Ali, i lista njezinih odbijenica rasla je iz dana u dan: odbijala je da živi s bratom i njegovom obitelji (Zašto? Da im služim za kuhanje i pranje!), ili da promijeni stan i preseli se u njihovo susjedstvo (Onda bi im morala svaki dan čuvat djecu!), odbijala je da sa mnom ide na putovanja, dok je to još mogla (To sam ja sve ionako vidjela na televiziji!), odbijala je da sama putuje (Neću, valjda, sama, kao prst, pa da me svi gledaju!), često je odbijala da nam se pridruži u kratkim obiteljskim proslavama i izletima (Idite vi, za mene je to prenaporno!), odbijala je da se ozbiljnije pozabavi unucima (Stara sam i bolesna, sve bi dala za njih, ali me jako zamore!), odbijala je da se uključi u neku svoju dobnu grupu (Šta da radim tamo sa starcima!), odbijala je da porazgovara s psihologom (Nisam, valjda, luda, ne treba mi psiholog!), odbijala je da pronađe neki hobi (Šta ćemi hobi? To je utjeha za budale!), odbijala je da obnovi zapostavljenje veze s nekim starim znancima (Šta da radim s njima, bez tate?) - sve dok se na kraju ipak nije pomirila. S vremenom je urasla u kuću i svela svoje izlaske na šetnje po naselju, do tržnice, do trgovine, do liječnika, do prijateljice na kavu. Na kraju je obavljala samo malu dnevnu šetnju do kafića na tržnici. Isključivost u stavovima na malome terenu (Preslatko je! To je moje mišljenje! Možda zato što sam odgajana da volim ljuto!), njezina tvrdoglavost (Ne bih stavila pelene ni mrtva. Nisam, valjda, bespomoćna starica!), njezina zahtjevnost (Danas moramo oprat zavjese!), njezina direktnost (U bolnici su svi stari i ružni!), njezina netaktičnost (Susjeda, ova vaša kava smrdi!) - sve su to bili signali neke temeljne muke koja je u njoj tinjala godinama, stalno prisutnog osjećaja da je nitko ne zamjećuje, da je nevidljiva. Borbu protiv te zastrašujuće nevidljivosti vodila je kako je znala i umjela, sredstvima koja je imala na raspolaganju.

Lists (3) alcohol, fasting, thirsting, sweat lodges, self-mutilation, sleep deprivation, dance, bleeding, mushrooms, immersion in ice water, kava, flagellation with thorns or animal teeth, cactus flesh, tobacco, exposure to the elements, long-distance running, hypnosis, meditation, rhythmic drumming and chanting, jimsonweed, nightshade, Salvia divinorum, pungent or aromatic scents, toad sweat, tantric sex, spinning in circles, amphetamines, sedatives, opioids, hallucinogens, nitrous oxide, oxytocin, holding one’s breath, jumping off cliffs, nitrites, kratom, coca leaves, cocoa, caffeine, entheogens— ethylene, an entheogenic gas, escapes from the ground under Delphi

You know the answer to that as well as I do. Psychologically it's much easier to swallow a pill than pull the trigger, especially if you're not so keen on the idea to begin with.

Ten coins? Ten measly fucking coins? Most folks have never even seen a damn flower in Kava! You could make a killing if you wanted.”  Elysia bristled, muttering under her breath as she put away her supplies. “I make enough, okay? You drugged-up cow’s ass.

She usually survived the Christmas season by ignoring it as best as possible but there were certain elements that reminded her of a pleasant time in her childhood, what she called the prefire days. Music of the season was one of those things that she took heart in. Maggie

Vrčevi za kavu koje koriste normalni ljudi - ili one dobre stare kafetijere iz kojih se miomirisno piće izlijevalo izravno u šalicu- kavi omogućuju izlazak kroz tanku cijev ili kljunčić, a gornji dio raspolaže bilo kakvim zaštitnim uređajem koji ih drži zatvorenima. U Grand Hôtelu i spavaćim kolima kava-bućkuriš stiže, naprotiv, u vrču s izrazito širokim kljunom, kao u pelikana, s krajnje pomičnim poklopcem, tako pomno izrađenim da ~ privučen nezadrživim horror vacui - automatski sklizne prema dolje tek što ste vrč neznatno nagnuli. Ta dva lukava izuma omogućuju ukletom vrču da polovicu kave odmah izlije na croissante i marmeladu te zahvaljujući klizanju poklopca. ostatak proliie po posteljini.

Maybe it’s a way for you to be that knight in shining armor who comes to the rescue—the one who never came to your rescue as a child.” Maggie

There are always rules,” Gwen said, serious again. “Good is held to them, evil is not. Sort of an unfair advantage right from the start.” Marco

You always look for logic even within the madness?” He could feel her eyes on him now, studying him to see if he was serious. He kept his eyes on the road ahead. “It’d be convenient to believe people who commit these types of crimes are simply mad. That there’s a neuron or two misfiring inside their brains.” “If they’re not mad, not crazy, what then?” She hesitated but only briefly before she calmly and quietly said, “They’re evil.

Christmases after his death were usually as unpredictable as they were untenable. It depended on how early in the day—or the evening before—her mother decided to start the festivities and who the guests would be—Jim Beam, José Cuervo or Jack Daniel. If the year had been especially successful, Johnnie Walker might replace all the others.

Neurotransmitter Imbalance. When imbalances in serotonin affect the production of melatonin, taking tryptophan, a precursor to serotonin, can help some people in this area.325 5-HTP is the immediate precursor of serotonin, and, therefore, also might benefit some people with insomnia. Increasing serotonin levels by taking 5-HTP can frequently help with sleep because serotonin is a precursor of melatonin. Low serotonin levels will usually lead to low melatonin levels. While someone can take a melatonin supplement, this isn’t doing anything for the serotonin imbalance. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is another neurotransmitter that plays a role in sleep. GABA is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter of the central nervous system, and it is well established that activation of GABA receptors favors sleep.[26] Studies demonstrate a reduction of GABA in the brain in primary insomnia.[27],[28] Many people take the herb valerian root to help them sleep, as this herb binds to the GABA receptors.[29],[30] A few other herbs also appear to affect the GABA receptors, including kava, Scutellaria baicalensis, licorice root, and lemon

Velikim dijelom”, Ledov prihvati te pažljivo započne, “moj zanat usklađuje ljude svijetu u kojem žive. Kad je netko nezadovoljan, kad je recimo na poslu degradiran umjesto promoviran i još živi u tmurnom svijetu od betona i nafte pa mu to otkida osjećaj slobode, mi dolazimo u napast da ga sa tim uskladimo. Ne pitamo je li svijet pokidan, već je uvijek pokidana osoba.”, Ledov reče, pentajući na trenutke kako nije govorio materinjim jezikom, a ipak u nekom zanosu već sada jer misli koje je pokušavao iznijeti mu bijahu od velike važnosti. “Ali recimo da je do svijeta, recimo da je sam svijet svojom bešćutnošću i ispraznošću u čovjeku probudio gorčinu, kao da je ljudsko tijelo nekim obrambenim mehanizmom namjerno upalo u melankoliju kako bi svoga vlasnika natjeralo odandje pobjeći. A on ne može pobjeći; ima stan, obitelj ima, prijatelje, karijeru. To već jest njegov cijeli život. On nema drugog osim toga. Pa stoga ostaje samo trpljenje. Čovjek trpi koliko može, čini to neko vrijeme, a onda neizbježno kuca nama. Mi ga zatim posjednemo i kažemo mu: "Ne budite nezahvalni. Ta vidite, ima nečeg i u tom betonu i toj nafti. Lijepe su i lokvice vode i smrad automobila. Skučeni stančić na desetom katu i isparavanje odjeće koja se suši i ustajanje u pet ujutro i hladna rijetka kava i sjedenje po čitav dan za stolom zatrpanim papirima i tako dalje i tomu slično i tako do kraja života... ima nečeg lijepog i u tomu. Ustvari, to jest lijepo. To je jedan lijepi život." Potom mu velimo: "Eto, potapšani ste po ramenu, to košta ovoliko rublji i možete ići. Izliječeni ste. Osim, naravno, ako smatrate da niste. U tom se slučaju objesite, ali vi sigurno niste platili vješanje, već liječenje, je li tako?", a pacijent odvrati: "Vidite zbilja, nisam tako razmišljao. Ako sam platio, onda sam stvarno i izliječen. Idem ja natrag u svoj mali život. Hvala vam." i ode sretan.” “Ode izliječen?” August upita. “Bez trunke sumnje.

King Kamehameha III worked to reinvigorate the cultural traditions of his people, and he encouraged them to partake in pre-colonial pastimes like hula, games, kava drinking, and other practices that were discouraged and forbidden by the Christian missionaries. This caused some amount of strife between aliʻi that were Christian and other chiefs who were not. King Kamehameha III would try to ease tensions and bridge the divide by providing younger chiefs and aliʻi with formal Western schooling and language lessons. Through this, King Kamehameha III hoped to increase their flexibility and mediating ability when it came to complex issues that involved both Hawaiian and Westernized parts of society.

And I needed to be with a friend, okay? A living, breathing, wonderful friend whom I absolutely adore.

Kava relaxes muscles, promotes calm, and is nonaddictive. It may work as a natural alternative to the benzodiazepine tranquilizers doctors prescribe as antianxiety agents. Valerian is a strong enough sedative to be used for insomnia, but small doses—say, ten drops of the tincture in a little warm water—can be used for daytime calming.

I have always tried to a good person to everyone I met in my life except one. That's me

Even if you stay in bed all day, you will travel about 2.5 million kilometers! That's how far the Earth moves through space in 24 hours, as it goes around the sun. So next time if somebody asks you, "why are you sitting simply?" You can tell them with pride, "Actually I am busy travelling the universe. Don't disturb me!

Heights of trust - After insisting for the 20th time that I should not eat his half-eaten banana, my 4yr old son rushed to the washroom to answer nature's call. In seconds, he hurried back and asked, "you didn't eat it right?

Don't keep your happiness always on a person. Keep it on a cup of coffee, your favourite song, or a secret dance which is easily available. Definitely they won't hurt you!

If you mistakenly used your friend's toothbrush, please apologize deep from your heart and promise them that you will never do it again. But don't forget to hide your brush, as they may take revenge

Piper methysticum, the intoxicating pepper, is hammered into submission before it is mixed into the brew that's guzzled, seeps into the blood, and becomes part of the stories and songs at the tip of everyone's tongue. The bitter brown drink that bears holy truths and keeps honorable myths alive. The thud of the pestle in the kava mortar is the echo of the waves, Ingrid thinks. The rhythm of the dance underneath it all.

There was an old saying among K9 groups. Grief belongs to the families. Dread belongs to the handlers.

Siddhas were our ancient scientists, much more advanced than us. Luckily they have left all the details on everything they found in writing for us to learn. But nobody had been able to decipher what was being communicated. That is what I am probing for. I am craving to know more.

சித்தர்கள் அறிவியல் துறையில் நம்மைவிடப் பல மடங்கு முன்னோடி. ஆனால், அவர்கள் எழுதி வச்சது யாருக்குமே புரியலை. அதைத்தான் நான் தேடுறேன். இன்னும் நிறைய தெரிஞ்சுக்கணும்னு ஆசைப்படறேன்.

As Dwight Heath concludes in his survey of cross-cultural uses of alcohol, “Solitary drinking, often viewed as a crucial symptom of problem drinking, is virtually unknown in most societies.”30 To the extent that solitary indulgence in intoxicants occurs, it is widely condemned or viewed with suspicion. Among mestizo communities in the highlands of Peru, reports the anthropologist Paul Doughty, “Drinking is a social act and is part of virtually every social gathering. Solitary drinkers are considered deviant and at best are looked upon as unfortunate individuals, or at worst, as unfriendly or ‘cold’ (seco).”31 In Oceania, “‘drinking kava alone’ is an idiom for witchcraft”—anyone indulging alone must be up to no good.32 Even in the United States, home to perhaps the most highly individualized and fragmented drinking culture in the world, drinking alone carries a certain stigma.

Maggie suddenly realized Grace was looking at her the same way she looked at Creed. It was her way to alert him—to tell him—that she’d found their target.

Dr. P said it was because she didn't think she deserved to be happy. That she didn't feel worthy, or some psychobabble crap.... God! She hated when her shrink was right.

She simply loved the feel, the smell, the sight of a box of books. What could be more heavenly?
