Our Creator Has But One Demand

The scent of warm cinnamon tea & soothing saxophone notes of Coltrane drift over my peaceful thoughts this frigid below zero morning in Minnesota...

A flute calms in waves listening to Pharoah Sanders...

Everything outside is covered in snow and ice...

A voice arises "peace and happiness for every man"

"The Creator has but one demand"

"Peace and happiness for all the land"

"Peace and happiness for all the land"

Sara Kendrick Date: 12/22/2022 4:43:00 AM I don't think I have ever had cinnamon tea. I use it in pickles, pies, soufflé, and in baked goods. I bet it was yummy. Thanks for sharing this one and for dropping by my page. Sara Login to Reply James Marshall Goff Date: 12/22/2022 6:25:00 AM Pleasures all mine Sara! Cinnamon Tea is a fine antioxidant & I like it also 'cuz of it's anti-inflammatory properties, I sprinkle it on everything including my nightly curries! Love to you and Doris! Merry Christmas!
