    In the kitchen, I have been accused of being in my own world. The attention referred to is never to my own — if such a silly perception would ever even be possible. This attention is applied, considering the importance of the creative process, the essence of each ingredient, and the purity of the physical…

    …found a mirror. Confide, I thought, and I did. It’s a fragile concept. Not that glass breaks — and reflections are of denser surface than mirroring glass — but viewing the self in the flesh, not in vain for vanity but in contemplation, does awake an odd sense of seldom auto perception which conveys much…

    This is a concept perpetuated by those humans who do not recognize that the -ing form in human being is an imposed conjugation which even Shakespeare avoided in his existential question. Religions claim it, cultures implement it. Some individuals may carry but out of cancerous arrogance, forgetting that cancer tends to eat its own. It…
