Peace talks
suddenly we were nose to nose. and the earth didn’t end. (thus there is hope for eye to eye)
Exercise daily
running laps? nay, sitting laps. Exercise care.

cups
cups. It is their emptiness that is their usefulness. (or so we are taught by great sages.) especially when that emptiness is filled with Love. (which is always useful. nevertheless, they still need to be washed regularly.)
