Dhal with chappatis. Pasta with parsley and macadamia pesto. Stewed quince. Stewed rhubarb.
OBSERVING NATURE, CHOOSING BALANCE
A MOTHER'S REFLECTIONS
Let my life be a meditation
Of daily focus and attention
On what I feel is important and worthwhile.
To be sensible and joyful,
To be self-aware and all-inclusive,
To accept each day as a new possibility,
To wake with gratefulness that I am breathing, and that those close to me are also,
To embrace the day,
To make it worthwhile,
To ADD to it with myself,
To live in grace that I am part of something much bigger than myself - the wondrous movement of life and nature on Earth.
