Caritas Concoctions
From meetings, we may form, strengthen, or surpass our purpose. Break bread, wine, billions of gooseberry husks, the internet, or your philosophy as to why Earth is the only inhabitable planet we’ll get to in your lifetime. That which we assemble breeds connectivity. At the juncture of our ties to bind our time, thoughts, skills, resources, cuisine, or fanciful tastes in lingerie there is room raised for seismic shifts. Generally, there’s an explosive neurological burst which suddenly ties my energy to that of another when I feel common ground.

One of the most superior sources of grace is giving generously to others. One of the finest systems of offering such special relationship building that I know of is when we speak highly about another person in their presence, especially when masses small or large are in the midst to bear witness.

Meanwhile, exclaiming how she’d forgotten all her capabilities until this moment she won them back with her friend’s praise.

So, when you go to cook, or liaise in any way, consider boiling and brewing for more than a few. Invite those you love, in conjunction with strange others. Seek to test your talents beyond the chef or self-only scene. Maybe you’re one of those boss matchmakers or business gurus in disguise. Align multi-cultures alongside the Hudson heirloom tomato ravioli sauce, and playfully tease the palates of those whose parents gave generations to this land in union with the immigrant children. I hope you might take this to see what glory can happen when we commit to regarding all people as potential bonding portals. Any of you may lead us to achieve more wildly, grow earnestly, or infuse symphonies with the delicate tones that lend the benign aliens whisking us to a safe new place if we ever royally screw this one up. Let us always look for the arousing relatedness in the connected tissues of our life.
