Images that move me

This last week was a little raw for me. I don't know if it was due to hormones, lack of sleep or just because of the moon. But I was feeling really closed. I was emotionally roller coastering and not really paying much attention to the quiet part of my personality. I was externally striving all week instead of taking stock with my personal energy, space, and needs. This morning I woke and meditated. Then I went downstairs and cooked a proper healthy and delicious breakfast of scrambled eggs with onions, garlic, red pepper, and broccoli. Simply chopping vegetable, putting oil in the pan felt like just what my mind needed. My incestant thoughts about pointless information quieted and I focused for the first time in a week. Watching the onion grow soft, the garlic brown, and then I put the scrambled eggs into the pan and watched it turn white and yellow and then seep into the broccoli and cover all of the vegetables until the egg gets solid and the whole mixture became a beautiful garden scramble. When I was done I cut up a Mango, which has become one of my favorite activities. I love slicing the peel of and eating the mango meat off of the peel. Then when I have cut the skin off, I thoroughly enjoy slicing the oval mango into weird obblong slices. I allow my hands to drip with mango juice and lick it off my fingers. After eating off the seed, I then slurp the big chunks into my mouth. The flavor of mango is delicious.

So, now that cooking has righted my mind and put me back on a more open track. The sun is shining today in London and you can see blue sky for the first time in a week or so. It's going to be a good day, a good month, and a good rest of the year.
I can feel it.

Much Love.
