I love this poem


On a day when the wind is perfect
the sail just needs to open
and the world is full of beauty.
Today is such a day.
My eyes are like the sun that makes promises;
the promise of life that it always keeps
each morning.
The living heart gives to us as does that
luminous sphere,
both caress the earth with great tenderness.
This is the breeze that can enter the soul.
This love I know plays a drum.
Arms move around me;
who can contain their self before my beauty?
Peace is wonderful but ecstatic dance is
more fun, and less narcissistic:
gregarious He makes our lips.
On a day when the wind is perfect
the sail just needs to open
and the love starts.
Today is such a day.
-- Rumi

New moon in Virgo

Finally, the darkest of nights
with the lights turned down
I light a candle and set it on the table behind me
and when I turn around...
pure wonderment
permeates my essence
but a giant presence reflected upon the wall
ecstatically moving along with the music
in my mind I can even see the laughter
that bounces from her mouth
for she is a being full of spirit
enchanted by the new moon

Pizza!

Tired of soggy bottom pizza?  Well we found the answer.  A cast iron pizza pan.  Using our hand ground whole wheat makes for a sometimes bread-like pizza dough...until now.  This four hundred pound pan is just the ticket.  With just the tiniest amount of oil on it, this pan made our pizza crispy and delicious.  Of course having our own home grown veggies and herbs is a big part of the excitement as well.  We picked our first fully ripened beautiful bright red Marconi pepper to slice on top and that was the icing on the cake. 
This was by far the best pizza we have made yet.  AND...a million times better than what anyone can serve you from a restaurant. 
Pizza anyone?
