Ingredients for despair –
illness, COVID, loss –
all meted…
Never did follow recipes
I see only openings
potential for enrichment
how the lens has power
to ruminate or celebrate
(Art my own)
Ingredients and Outcomes
One Woman's Quest
Passion for writing ignites my soul's momentum
Hugs, love to you VJ! xoxo

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems your attitude depends on the day just like me. We can start a club and call it Dukkha. Snacks are served but immediately taken away. 🧁

You are not wrong. Poems, like photographs capture mere moments. Count me in to the Dukkha club!

Love the lens metaphor, and the art, of course.
I don’t like following recipes either. 😄

A pinch of this, a dash of that. Nothing I make ever tastes exactly the same. Variety is the spice of life! 😁
