Death and Life and Cooking

[Affirmations - III]

Death and life (or resurrection) are everywhere.

Under my feet in the microbiology of the soil.
In my my body in the biome of my gut.
In my neighborhood in the grief and support.
In the world in the tragedy and compassion.

I see it especially in people like us. In you.
In your pain, when you face it . . .
In your grief, when you hold it . . .
In your loss, when you step forward . . .
In your hurt, when you seek help . . .
In your failure, when you try again . . .
In your emptiness, when you give again. . .

You are a source of life.
Of resurrection.

I know, it doesn’t feel that way. It all feels like a mess of chopped ingredients.
Stressful, painful ingredients.

But every time you lean in, push in, and don’t give in, you are cooking up something delicious and life-giving.

Thank you.
