Over a year ago, I began
a sourdough starter ~
bubbly and full of life.
Flattened and lazy,
On the watch for
mould or a flat taste.
no mould appeared
taste is sharp and sour!
What was I doing wrong?
Too long in the cold
fed once a week!
No reason to bubble.
~~~~~~~
So it is with spirit
Excitement in life
shrinks in the cold
flattens without life
stirred and kept warm,
danced and out of breath
What excites me?
ideas that beg for the written word
story that stirs my soul to laughter or tears
music to tap my toes and sway my hips
What excites your heart and mind?
“For here I hope begins our lasting joy.”
~ William Shakepeare
(Re: Sourdough restoration: I’m keeping it on the cupboard and feeding it once a day for a while until it’s back to it’s bubbly self. Maybe a week? In this cold weather, I’m not going far from home.A metaphor for life - it I keep my life in the cold)
