The Light of the Sukkah was almost a physical thing, alllmost. Zelda closed her eyes and raised her face up, feeling slivers of light on her eyelids & nose, whatever sun came through the narrow slats of the temporary roof. Meticulously constructed in thorough joy, meditative energy imbued in every step of the process, there was nothing- no, nothing like it. A little shift of wind & the strips of light danced on her eyelids. "Yes," she thought as she smiled "I could almost spread this on challah!" Her smile grew large enough to break her reverie, and her eyes opened. She glimpsed the men briefly, who were engrossed in the morning prayer. She raised her eyebrows to herself as she stretched, surprised at her relief at lack of responsibility, well, of that particular kind. Women didn't need to pray nearly as much as the men. She peered at them again, admiringly, and pulled her coffee to her lips. She felt much warmer just then; she also felt it was not attributable to that tiny sip. She wondered also if she was blushing, but didn't really care. She thought just then to dip her toes in the pool and resolved yes, to do it, but later. She breathed very deeply then, closing her eyes and catching the scent of tree branches overhead. She was happy. She held who she wanted to be. Jimble hearty through, & please Altogether land & trees Hold as Holy, True, & One The Loving Bond, all other Ones Move together, rush to help Don't forget you're living well See each other, bright & true You see, you're not the only you Sweeten wounds & soften blows All for better knowledge, though All for what each one can do To bring about the truest Brew. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T LIKE BROCCOLI - How to eat a mountain of broccoli. A Public Service Announcement9/20/2015 I made this sauce as a part of a vegan meal recently. I decided it could could also work for vegetables only, & broccoli soaks it up & delivers it to tastebuds admirably. You can add more stuff, whatever you want, but remember if you add things that contain a lot of water (like bell peppers or round onions) you will need to add more of the other flavored as well. Sauce: 1/2 cup vegetable broth 1/2 cup orange juice 1 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar 1 tbsp soy sauce 1/2 tbsp fresh ginger, grated (I put mine through a garlic press, worked out fine, chop it first) 1/8 tsp cayenne powder Mix that all together & set aside Veggie mix: 4 cups broccoli. Yeah, you heard me. 1 green pepper 1 bell pepper, your choice of color (or 2 halves) 1/2 medium white onion 1 bunch green onions (8 or so) 2 or 3 garlic cloves, through the garlic press with them, chop everything else coarsely, whatever bite size is for you. Put the veggie mix in a pot with a bit of oil on the bottom, medium heat & cook for just a few minutes. Mix 1 tbsp corn starch into the sauce mixture thoroughly, add to the pot & cook a few more minutes. It goes really quickly after everything is prepped, and super tasty. I plan to add my usual favored options, bamboo & water chestnuts & see how that goes. I adapted this recipe from one I found on the Gardein website: http://gardein.com , which is full of vegetarian recipes to use with their products. Try it! Share if you love it. Have a beautiful week, month, year. 😀 Perhaps that big thunder has got your attention My friends, a sweet feather is just as important Put it on out, under guise of development Cut & trim to the point it becomes an embellishment Value the thunder for what it may bring you Revisit that feather, it's drifting nearby too Learning from feathers & learning from thunder Everyone's somewhere, over inklings or under Reaching out for each other, take care when embracing Every bird on this project broken differently, pacing Collectively love loving, respect for specifics All of us worth it, we're our own metaphysics. Bring me that Apple across the great sea My sea-faring Apple, seeing sea like me Bobbing along, feeling sore out of song Wondering once more so how long now, how long? Hunting those sparks, crashes trapped in the dark Something to do as I listen for hearts Pull it up on through the tough Magician's flower out of fluff Sleight of hand can run amok Pop the bubble, win a duck Running Spanish, eyes that cut Give another life or bust When another another loses trust Brothers, sisters groan & cuss When that car comes off the truck Jump on in & don't get stuck Shine the cluck who rides the stump Hold your heart and point to Love Dik Dik Dilly Padilly In an old rum tum chilly Those waters of ergon & the knights of the Lilly Hunting Trunk from that willow (some say so handsome fellow) And the night howling silent Now they've found who's behind it Pulling the pin is the easy part. Ruling the skin & a breezy spark Then mark up boundaries, a working chart Carving out sailboats (our open hearts) Graphing success is a loosened cart Moving in place fills a poison dart Breathing of space wakes a hardened heart Loving your face grows our best head start Standing, running- perfectly still Moving, strumming- Heart & will Scheming from thieving Those lifetimes past Dreaming, breathing Detritus surpassed. |
