Spelt Bread Just Out of the Oven
Had I not been paying attention to coming weather, I would not have been able to predict that I would likely work from home today. I then wouldn’t have had, to go with bean soup, bread that needs 24 hours to develop.
I have had a more stressful than usual couple of weeks at the office. While I was walking into the office, I was thinking about how the more deadlines I needed to meet and the more difficult interchanges I had to bring to the most optimal resolution, the harder it was also to have energy to give to those who are in far greater need, though I seek ways to be of service.
When I saw the oversized half moon dwarfed by the cherry blossoms, it helped put things in perspective. Nothing I do immediately impacts life or death. A hard week does not mean much in my life as a whole, my tribulations are only so much play in the midst of the outrageous ground of all human being, human being is only one small part of life on this planet in this galaxy in this universe, and who knows how vast is the realm of consciousness. I smiled at the moon and the blossoms and thought of their beauty throughout the day.

I then surrendered to the fact of the snow and to its beauty, letting go of my preference for spring mildness.
