People who know me understand that cooking is not my favorite activity. I find it messy, tedious, and hard work. It's not that I'm a poor chef, my results are usually creative and edible. No one complains (outloud) and no one goes starving. Preparing meals is just not my calling. My favorite thing to make is reservations.
I wrote the following based on inspiration from Mary Oliver's poem, "Don't Hesitate"
A Recipe For Joy
Ingredients
- Equal parts laughter and silliness
- 1 heaping heart of love
- Pinch of sarcasm
- A grain of salt
- 2 handfuls of compassion
Blend thoroughly until waves of smiles appear.
Pour into a well seasoned soul.
Bake for a lifetime.
Serves one and all.
