but equally hungry,
I sliced,
then photographed.
Now I eat.

A lifetime of memories
can show up at your doorstep
and sweep you up in love
like the wind that brings changing seasons
collects the leaves for colorful treasures
to be pressed and captured in scrapbooks and photographs.
We can live in the memory of love
as the wind that rushes through us with intensity just by
that one glance you just gave me.
Life moves so quickly at moments collecting all the fibers of our depths
at other times, still and proportional. Then, slow-silent as snow.
I’m experiencing a timeless place with you right now. It is not a crossroads,
a doorstep, nor a season.
It’s a glorious continuity, a never-ending, undying way for us to collect
ourselves, full of developing smiles and wet-touched by the tears of our trials.
My love is with you always.
In honor of the holiday, Iβm sharing a passage from the random Tao. https://randomtao.org/
Twelve
The five colors blind the eye.
The five tones deafen the ear.
The five flavors dull the taste.
Racing and hunting madden the mind,
Precious things lead us astray.
Therefore the wise are guided by what they feel and not by what they see,
Letting go of that and choosing this.

the principle of living a balanced, moderately paced, low-fuss life: those who achieve lagom routinely take time to appreciate their surroundings, take several breaks during the workday, dress from a minimal and versatile wardrobe, and treat others with respect and kindness: βAfter spending two fabulous months with my in-laws at their home in Stockholm, Iβve decided I need to bring some lagom into my hectic American life.β (Dictionary.com)
