the surefire way to deal with jet lag

the surefire way to deal with jet lag
is
not to admit to such a thing existing
don't let the idea get into your life

just

hop off the plane
and continue with the day that has been offered to you
walk*
smile
eat drink
sing
love
and be grateful that you have woken up breathing
wherever you may be

and
when the sun sets
find a comfy bed
[note to self : am glad i don't have to sleep in railway stations
or cowsheds so often anymore]
and enjoy your dreams

it was a wonderful journey [thank you everybody i met who contributed to my delightful stay in America]
but it's good to be home
and to be able to get out that saxophone again...




*and of course gather a few leaves
finger-painting on the wall by at
