The smell of curry perfumes the house… it wafts through one room after another, smelling more delicious as the peas begin to soften and the flavors of onion, garlic, carrot and the deep brown vegetable broth begin to entwine forming a complex and delightful aroma. It only takes a little curry to fill the house. Just a very little to bring the exotic scent of far off lands into this southern neighborhood more prone to pizza, beer and wings than curry, carrot and brown rice.

Mmmm. Life can be so good.

So why are people always trying to make life so hard? Aren’t the parts we can’t control hard enough? The rest can be so easy… if we can get out of our own way.

Life can be so elegantly simple.

So beautiful and clean, exhilirating and intoxicating like the feel of the right person’s hand held in our own, at last. Love. When we give ourselves over to the one thing on the planet that allows us, from time to time, to experience a taste of what it is like to be returned to The Divine. That is when the complex can become simple… at least for awhile. If we’ll just stay out of our own way.

So simple… so beautiful… so elegant. 

Like a pot of soup simmering on the stove. A few humble ingredients combine, a little heat is applied, and soon, something of heavenly origin emerges- a transformation has occured and the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Here, in the kettle, some kind of chemical reaction has taken place and lead becomes gold.

So it is with love…
When the right ingredients are brought together, they combine like no other and something amazing occurs. Something, like nothing else that has ever been before, can emerge.

Beautiful.
