Beautiful poem Reena. A lot of meaning in a few words. Cooking means much more than just cutting, chopping, stirring etc. Your poem conveys that beautifully.
Thanks for this Sunday slowing, savoring, sharing ... love this: "I think of meaning-making as an act of courage — despite our assured mortality, despite an unsympathetic universe, and against our potential for nihilism…"
I love this poem and the world of meaning in that ladle at the end. I too find that my relationship to the kitchen changes with time, but mine has gone the other direction! 🧌🙈We’ll see what I think when the kids are grown. Loved your well-paced read-aloud!
Loved it! Often times we miss what is right under our noses and look for methods and meaning far away
Exactly right, Priya! Thanks for reading and writing to me.
