it really is something, yanno?
it really is something, yanno? i love baking.....flour flying everywhere...the peeking in every once in a while to see if i'm going to drop anything good. i just finished a sour cream coffee cake and my breads.. so those can cool and get wrapped for the neighbors. cookie dough is done and sitting in the fridge - it has to set for 24hours so i'll deal with that tomorrow. but i think i'm going to do a couple of pies for the house in case someone drops by. i was watching it's a wonderful life the other night and i got to thinking about the potential differences in the world if i hadn't been born. now we all have a certain impact on each other....bad or good...but the idea of never having been is an intriguing one. reminds me of an old scifi story about how the world is changed b the killing of a single butterfly. so in the midst of all the busy and the shopping and the wrapping and the cooking...a moment to reflect on our place in our own little worlds. i can name so many who have changed me...given me pause....support....a kick in the ass...i wonder if they know that they made a difference. it's not who you know... but how you know them. did you honor them? or dismiss them? are you someone who people respect or just endure? and while none of us will ever know truly how others see us....the idea that my actions, reactions ... even the smallest gesture could change the world as we know it...well...makes you stop and think, yanno? sitting here now....writing this silly blog has something to do with this....the idea of every particle being in every other particle...and oh how that pleases me. that within me, you dwell...a welcome guest....and that within you...something of me exists. kinda cool, no? honni says we are entering a new phase of awareness. ditty, shannee......they say the same thing. so do so many of us in our own ways. some with wonder...some with distrust...some with irony (winks at solar and skier). but if we are....if this is a new world...and we get to make it what we want it to be....well, that would be one helluva thing. baking is a good metaphor for this i think. you take some of this, some of that and you make something utterly different and hopefully delicious. but too much of this or that and ... to hit the right blend....now what was that "c" word skier? to find that fine line of balance....knowing full well it shifts constantly and you may teeter....fall........ to be.......and to honor others in their being god........i'm losing it....maybe too much raw batter.........winks.......an undigested bit of potato as ebenezer would say..... but it really is something.........yanno? You cannot conceive the many without the one. |

what a beautiful idea, that the world could be changed by the killing of a single butterfly. And the thought of the butterfly in this post is perfect since the caterpillar metamorphose into a completely new being such as taking different ingredients and making one new thing but of course the butterfly's change is solo. "sitting here now....writing this silly blog has something to do with this....the idea of every particle being in every other particle...and oh how that pleases me. that within me, you dwell...a welcome guest....and that within you...something of me exists. kinda cool, no?" I think that that is simply beautiful to have a little bit of someone that we encounter and for them to have a little bit of us somewhat like inhaling someones breath in because when you breathe breath in you breathe in macroscopic things that are a part of them......I think I have a bit of undigested potato as well....although I wish it was a bit of that sour cream coffee cake, lucky neighbors ...great post

yep sure is magnificent.. the idea that at some time / at some point everyone will come to know a inner love for all,including themselves. Mind blowing it is , what would be the ultimate? If all peoples found this real soon.. accepted it and ran with it to the finnih line caring honour to all. Yes i day dream too. and the balance is hard to keep steady ....

Ironic, ain't it, we... winkin' at irony? Ironic, indeed! Just think; if you weren't here, I'd be forced to confine my comments to those who have absolutely no appreciation for irony - nor for winking. Solar... BTW: I can balance with the best of 'em, with both my hands tied behind my back - blindfolded!

I like the idea that there is a little piece of all the people I interact with inside me...that is a cool way to view it. Been doing a lot of self-reflection lately...heartbreak does that to you. I think sometimes that I am not important in the world, and then I look at my children and know that for someone, even if for only a brief breathe, I was the most important one in their life. If only we could have that all-encompassing joy wrap us up all the time... Hugs we! I think you have inspired me to go home and bake and create...I feel more "me" when I let my creativity wander (is that cuz I deal with numbers and scientists all day??!!)

I believe the only journey we ever make in this life is in becoming who we are. Understanding that who I am is to some extent at least a composite of all those influences from others and knowing that others are in part shaped by my own influence is an awesome thought. The latter is a huge responsibility ...... that of becoming truly human in who we are. And what is awesome is that this cross-influencing happens at the most basic levels of matter - quantum physics - and is echoed at all levels of organisation. warm xx

I know that others have touched me..in so many ways..and many have no idea how much so..I am part of so many...I feel it and I am sure I have touched a few around me...when I see it on their faces ...and I like to think that in a small way I make a difference..thank you wicked for being a part of me *hugs*

wickedeasy replies on 12/21/2007 7:17 am: i don't know.........baking is sort of scientfic too in a way.... thing is ce......no matter who unimportant we feel at times, the world balance would heave and shudder if we never were. of course our children are the deepest connect....but just think of the clerk at the supermarket that you made smile, or the dog you scritched, of the blanace tht you provide for your colleagues. i am so sorry that now, especially now, you must feel so alone and disheartened. "it is in this season that want is most keenly felt" i am hoping.........sending you some pale lavender energy....that you will find a way to do whatever it is you must. you are a special woman, we, with a amazing gift for seeing and feeling the hearts of others. I give thanks to whom-ever I should be thanking that I have been blessed with knowing you here. you have a way with words that always reach me when I need reaching, and help me think a little more clearly when I need to think. Even when you are talking with your other visitors! Hugs, we. May your Christmas be full of peace and joy. ce "All you'll get from strangers is surface pleasantry or indifference.
