Blessed Day Reclaimed

Cold morning switched off the air conditioner.
Whistling wind wildly knocked on the glass door.
Windy rain greeted Sunday morning.
What dry hanging got re-soaked β€” a basket of potentially re-wash.

May kindness be absent for a while?
May a pinch of disappointment be sprinkled?
May a drop of despair be shared today?

A promise was wished
To smile,
To laugh,
Or to just close eyes in unbearable
And sleep away,
Or to make noise among fire, water and oil,
Or simply splash some ink on paper or wallβ€”

Claimedβ€”
That this noisy weather
Is less noisy than the kitchen.
And it turns back to a blessed day.

β€”

Sometimes it only takes some kitchen noise to save a Sunday.

when you feel bad, boil vegetables and other stuff πŸ₯Ί
and make them the best gado-gado on earth for this morning’s breakfast! Ok, Sunday, I will stay home the whole day while you get soaked by rain πŸ™ƒ

Some Cannot Be Changed

Crooked not bowing; Nature

Lunch is an important meal; breakfast is just a tertiary β€œdecoration”. So having nice food in the afternoon feels like seeing a green garden with fruits hanging everywhere. 🀩

4 of 4 done! 1 isn’t so tidy, the 3 are excellent!

Language of Palate

Palate, hard or soft,
Still rules.... Voice or taste with which
Days are counted onβ€”-

After three giant scoops of sinful ice cream, let’s enjoy the day with much and much vegetable and protein! This must happen the whole day! Or the whole week 😩

Life is always good by ignoring nerve and counting the blessings.

Happy Vesak Day!
