Food for Medicine ''Brown Rice''

Among grains, by far the most balanced nutritionally is brown rice. Naturally it benefits the production of good blood, but it also aids in eliminating unwanted toxins. Justthoroughly chewing brown rice thoroughly can benefit bowel movements, promote a good night's sleep, and replenish energy. Eating brown rice one can obtain a healthy body almost unaffected by fatigue.

Food as medicine, "Daikon radish"


Per 100g

- 23 mg of calcium

- 0.2 mg of iron

- 230 mg of potassium

- 0.02 mg of vitamin B1

- 0.01 mg of vitamin B2

- 11mg of vitamin C


An ample amount of moisture and vitamin C in the root promotes urination. The fiber functions to oxidate the bowels, calming inflammation and relieving fever. It also contains enzymes that digest and aid in breaking down an excess of proteins in coagulated blood, so the kidney returns to its normal functioning, and swelling is reduced. One can expect that both viruses exacerbated by disease (enabled by proteins) and eczemic itching, at its source caused by an excess of proteins, will disappear as a result.

10/22/11


I am dedicated to you this song, honey.



Alfie




What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie,
then I guess it's wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie,
what will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie,
I know there's something much more,
something even non-believers can believe in.
I believe in love, Alfie.
Without true love we just exist, Alfie.
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie.
When you walk let your heart lead the way
and you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie.

95. Berlin Blue-8- 10/21


10/21/11


I’d like to share mine

My mysterious journeys

And the stories of what

I’ve experienced.



Berlin Blue


(but I thought that was just Berlin...)


The owner of the room, a single mother with a four-year-old daughter, was on a trip, so Miss E said she would be coming in each day to feed her cat. There were two reasons I took a sleeping bag from Miss E’s room to spend the night here. First, Miss E was emotionally unstable, so I wanted to put some distance between us. Second, and the larger reason I came to Berlin, I was looking for a space to potentially make into a gallery.

I’d like to share mine

My mysterious journeys

And the stories of what

I’ve experienced.



Berlin Blue


(the computer was gone too...)


Everything was just as it was the day before: the nursery, the bathroom, the living room, even the sleeping bag I'd brought and put on the bed. Yesterday, when I had moved
from Miss E's two-story apartment to her friend's flat, the moment I unlocked the door two cats dashed out, and the foyer looked just like it had been broken into, things scattered about. It seemed for a second like it might have been the doing of a young and a little sketchy landlord, but I thought that was just Berlin.

"That's strange. There's no way that my computer could be gone in just 30 minutes..."

I couldn't find my computer anywhere in the two-bedroom apartment. And a little bit later, I found out that my digital camera which had been connected to the computer was gone too.

I’d like to share mine

My mysterious journeys

And the stories of what

I’ve experienced.



Berlin Blue


(I knew he was on tour in Germany and had come to Berlin...)


The staff told me he wanted to introduce me to a well known jazz bassist who is active around New York and had stopped by Berlin on his tour of Germany. To my surprise, it was someone I had met before, Mister U. The staff called him around the counter. (As it turned out, the staff is the owner of this club, and he reminds me of the ex-owner of the Jazz Club Smalls as he was humming andjovial. When I said to him "You should sing.", he had blended into the guest with smile.)

My mysterious journeys

And the stories of what

I’ve experienced.



Berlin Blue


(I was fond of it...)


Later, the group started an instrumental performance. If I remember correctly, I think after rotating performers, Blue Monk started playing.

At one point, when the group members were changing, the staff member from earlier came up to me and asked, “Can you sing?”

I replied, “I came here from New York. I just want to relax and listen to the performance.”

And just then, I happened to recognize someone: a well-known jazz bassist active around New York, Mister U. I knew he was on tour in Germany and had come to Berlin...

10/4/11


I’d like to share mine

My mysterious journeys

And the stories of what

I’ve experienced.



Berlin Blue


(and I were automatically placed in the only open seats in the house...)


Young jazz musicians, playing piano, bass, drum, trumpet and saxophone were in the middle of a jam session, and the place, without air conditioning, reached the peak of steaming heat. The German singer, in her late 40s, sang scat at a medium tempo.

My first impression of this Berlin jazz club was surprise. Fairly orthodox bepop still had mainstream popularity. It reminded me of when that same nostalgic, old-fashioned style swept through New York in the 90s. I was fond of it...

Thankfulness


Alone we wouldn’t go on living

Drinking clean water even

Moving through the subway is

Something people in the thousands make possible

A life we wouldn’t be able to live alone.


My life, I want it to go on living

Not forgetting this, thankful for people.
