Recipe for living and other low-fat vegetarian dishes

There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud
was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
Anais Nin


choose to blossom

always do

risk the elements


it is in my nature

our nature

we are not so different

I can see your eyes in mine

my face in your face

my skin may be softer

but we split just the same

bleed just the same



consider the homunculus

life desires living

and acts accordingly

flailing about,

lighting fires,

planning escape into warm soil


We don't want to hide away, we want to live.


My recipe for living:

guts

careful planning

wild actions

self- preservation

healthy mental landscape


the will to live

is the will to love
