What Comes First, The Chicken or The Person?
Jo and I are discussing many things right now as we make Hamburger Helper - or should I call it Chicken Helper? We are discussing the awful images of the devastation that Katrina left behind reported on by Oprah today. Jordan is browning ground chicken and not feeling so great that the chicken he is using was probably raised inhumanely in a cage and force fed hormones. I am wondering why so many people worry so much about animals when they don't even have the capacity to care for the human beings that suffer along side of them everyday. We are pondering life and making supper and these are the daily moments in life that I love and I cherish and make it all worth it.
(Jordan wants me to tell you guys that our mango is a molten mush of muddy mold. He has created an alliteration and he is very proud of himself. He is also secretly proud that he had to tell me how to spell alliteration.)
I long to burrow deep into my nest sometimes and other times it is only my emotional exhaustion that keeps me from packing a bag and travelling, travelling, travelling. Perhaps I will make an impromptu trip to Calgary. Or Toronto again, like last February. Or Mexico. Ya, i wish.
(Jordan now wants me to tell you that he is happily helping harvest a hamburger helper hot dinner. Wow, my boyfriend is - this is one of our new words - aDORKable. Heehee)
Will send out my newsletter soon. Maybe tonight. Have been should-ing on myself all day. So, I will send it when I send it.
Am helping with the Media Ministry to digitize some of Rev. C's talks. Surreal to hear her voice again. Today she reminded me that if there was such thing as "God's will" then it would only be this: Do unto others as you would have done unto you. It is a simple lesson, no? Funny how impossible it seems for us to implement in our lives. I challenge each of us to keep this in our mind when resonding to, dealing with or reacting about whatever happens to us this week. How would we want to be spoken to on the phone? How would we want someone to give us feedback? What would we love for our partners to give us? Figure out your answers and then make them your outgoing actions.
(Jordan just discovered that the Hamburger Helper has MSG in it. He is suddenly not so happily harvesting our hot dinner. Oh well.)
To everyone reading this...one last question...
Is dork another word for penis?
We gotta keep asking the important questions or what will be left of our society?
