I've been feeling especially blessed from all this delicious winter eating. I've also been feeling a bit comatose. But I've risen from the zonked-out digestive state to share a new recipe and poem with you.

and here is a little poem inspired by the food characters on my counter:
Away We Go...
Oh goodness--
beet markings on a white bowl
and the stem of a sprouted sunflower seed,
lone across the counter.
When I notice,
I am not just moved but struck.
I say, "remember that!"--
this morning with these colors--
beets like the inside of longing,
greens that whisper "away we go..."
I like being reminded that we can write poetry about our daily experience- the quiet and the subtle appreciate the attention. You're right about beets! Hey, do fermented foods help alleviate your food comas? Love, iara
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to make this soup before winter is gone. Marigo I miss you and I want to read more poems about beets. Please.
