The Mix A recipe for life, living, loving, and being happy? Why is this so hard? Flour, or flower? The first to eat, the second to enjoy... to smell. Sugar? Cane or white, or brown? Honey is the best choice all around. Milk goes with honey, like sunshine on rain. No baking is better, that is plain. Salt? We need salt like we need God. We need it to be... alive. To be without, is to die, a sad... lonely, passing. Yeast... rising and dancing to unseen music. Causing the loaf to dance too. Ingredients for getting from one point to the next. Bake and share the very bread of Jesus. Speak His name in the light, say His name in the dark... never be without the master baker, in your life.

Yes, indeed, Ann. This is food for thought: Why is it so difficult to live and love happily?! Perhaps... Thanks for the idea... See my next poem...
