Abandon all projections
Our prayer is that you dance by yourself and dance with your lovers; abandon all projections and enjoy life as music; engage all the benefits that come with reception; deflect potential accidents; turn them into blameless incidents and enjoy the joy that causes
no harm and no foul . . . because you can . . . and you are always in love.Guru Singh
I have been cooking. Now why is that a thing you ask? And I don't blame you.
Well.....Confessions on the Journey - I have not cooked in a very long time. Probably almost a year has passed since I last cooked in the kitchen that I have.
The new normal has ushered me into the kitchen - Who Knew?
I have resisted cooking.
I have fought against cooking
I made excuses
Honestly, I don't like to cook. I am better at eating than cooking.
I sat down and thought about this in my new time - what is this resistance about?
Resistance many times comes with fear, sometimes it comes with denial.
Resistance comes with being defensive
So if I am resisting cooking what am I in fear and denial about?
I remember at a time I would love to cook, I would look up receipes and make them, and revel in the creation. I was well known for the Christmas Tuna and Plaintain Log. It became a tradition rund these parts.
But since living alone, I just have not been motivated to cook.
I asked myself - is it because I am cooking for me?
Is it because I want to share meals
And now, cooking over the past few days it struck me, I like to share meals that I cook, cooking was my love language to others and transfering that love to myself was tough.
The love is still there, it was just to turn it inward.
Peace
