Brilliantly penned, Thomas. Cooking is art, math, & science all rolled in one. Most of all it’s relaxing in my experience. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

I used to think that if I “fucked until I couldn’t walk”, I would never get old. Funny the nonsense I believed when I was young. She left and I got old!!! But, I did learn that sanity is overrated. I threw out my Wadsworth and took up with e.e. cummings, Pablo Neruda and went on “The Road” with the beats.
In reading your poem, Thomas, I am once again reminded how much I love to cook, smell puppies, and skip along the road to joust with windmills!!! Dulcinea del Toboso, I am coming!!! And “To Dream the Impossible Dream”.

Oh lordy…I hate math and I struggle with recipes. Maybe the one is causation of the other? I do best when I just randomly toss things in the stew pot. Maybe some of us aren’t meant to be scripted? I love how music wove through this one. Brilliantly executed!

Hey all… been away for a while. I just got back from a month abroad. I got to get away and spend time Japan. I visited several regions of Japan, spend entire days at Shinto and Buddhist temples. It was a must needed escape and chance to immerse in Japanese culture, art, cuisine and philosophy.

Read MoreIn these cracks of old foundation,sorrow sets like mortar—slow, sure, unseen.Each grain of grief, a silent stone,fixing memory to what remains. Rain seeps through years of gray dust,marks the ambiguous wall.What once was pliant earthnow hardens into permanence. Footsteps echo on...

Read MoreIn the hush between palms,steam pens its moist scripture—a rising breath of verdant silence. The bowl warms both hands,like remembered embrace;each sip, a slow return to cloister. Tatami sighs beneath the robe’s rustle,bamboo whisk murmurs devotion—froth of impermanence, foamed time. Outside a...

I love the whole ceremony of it. Preparing the tea.
It’s another form of artistic expression in my opinion.
We have a dojo where I work that was a gift from Japan.
We have a koi pond too. Yes, the fish are from Japan too.It’s very peaceful. Even the pic!

UPDATE: I began two hours ago and since I complied the first book weeks ago – I had trouble remembering how I did everything. First issue was getting my cover photo inside the book. Finally did that, only to discover an extra blank page I couldn’t figure how to remove! Finally cut and pasted everything a page back and began again. Line format was messed up. Reading 1.0 but looking more like 3. Nearly screamed! Finally got 2 poems of 60 inserted. I am taking a break before adding the rest. I’ll update here. I am doing this with a .docx program on my phone. Off to potty (hee hee) and eat a can of stew. Last boyfriend (from last summer) works at a food pantry (I did also for 3 weeks). Apparently he left a box of food outside my door Thursday afternoon.

Book two…SECRET PIECES IS ONLINE! It took a bit of time to throw it together and then edit it. PLUS, I accidentally uploaded the wrong cover and fixing it took another day!

Book three will be LOST PIECES and I have a cover I’m tinkering with.
