LOVE

Someday after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity,

we shall harness the energies of love.

Then, for the second time in the history of the world
we will have discovered fire.

Wednesday, 26 February 2014

I read once that the Egyptians had fifty words for sand
and the Eskimos had a hundred words for snow.
I wish I had a thousand words for love,
but all that comes to mind is the way you move against me while you sleep
and there are no words for that.

EMERGE

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

- Marianne Williamson

than in a year of conversation.

Hokey Pokey Ice Cream

For the honeycomb...

4 Tbsp. sugar

2 Tbsp. light Karo syrup

1 tsp. Daydream honey

1 tsp. baking soda

Heat the sugar, Karo and honey over medium heat until it boils. Stir constantly over low heat for five minutes taking care that it doesn’t burn. Very quickly, add baking soda, stirring vigorously while it foams. Turn off the heat and immediately pour the mixture onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Let it cool and harden. When it’s completely cool, break it up into small pieces and set aside.

For the ice cream...

4 egg yolks

1 cup sugar

500 ml (1 pint) whipping cream

1 tsp. vanilla extract

Cream together the egg yolks and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla. In a separate chilled bowl, whip cream until it’s light and fluffy. Gradually fold the egg mixture into the cream. Immediately, pour the entire mixture into the ice cream maker. Five minutes before it’s finished, add the crushed honeycomb. Freeze.
