Standards and Staples

Standards and staples

simple things we keep in 

our minds and our cupboards ~

necessary items to use every day.

For our meals we choose our staples 

gathered while growing up

for our lives we choose our standards

learned while growing up

Some staples will change as we

learn and like new foods

some standards will alter as we

learn grown-up strengths

Spices and passion 

for our standards and staples 

add strength and pizzazz to the

necessary items we use every day.

“As if you were on fire from within.

The moon lives in the lining of your skin.”

~ Pablo Neruda
