[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 231270, member: 1969"] "Smoking a pipe is no more difficult than a conversation with a good friend. You contribute, you receive, you enjoy, and afterward, both are wiser and better for it." I wrote that down a few months ago, and it rings true. There is an exchange that both benefit...you, relaxed, and the pipe becomes broken-in and well-seasoned. Even new friendships are exciting and a little tense (like a new pipe that can bite a little), but mellow into a natural way of being. All it takes is understanding the nature of the pipe and the smoker. Last night, for example, I was all out of sorts. I was not in harmony with myself, or my pipe. I was rushed, distracted, and disconnected. The smoke was wet, harsh, disappointing. I also had a misunderstanding with a friend that left me feeling the same way. That was due to my state of mind, everything else was just fine. :) (...the cool part was, all it took was a little awareness, and I just started over...the forgiveness of a [i]true[/i] friend...) We all stumble while learning to walk, but it's awesome to get it "right." Glad you're getting the hang of it. 8) [/QUOTE]
