Let me take an easy yoke, not looking but seeing the beauty of green herbs on the window seal,
Leaning where the morning light paints the counter gold, scooping flour and water with starter, powdering hands to knead, a perfect round globe of dough,
Waiting for rising by dispersing the red jewels from their casing, the gleaming pomegranate seeds resting in the small bowl, white porcelain with blue birds,
The ease of not rushing through the morning, through the moments of preparing, feeding, cleaning, shopping. Life is more than food and the body more than clothing, and this ordinary every day life more full when engaging the Spirit with each moment of beauty in the ordinary, mundane bits,
It’s always extraordinary when love is encountered in the midst.
