Paradox of living and enjoying...
life filled with sorrow and joy;
Finding my own light
to pick out the way...
Life, a gift that lets you choose
what images play on your own private screen.

We come to a Table laden
with dishes for the spirit;
Salty, sweet, bitter.
Warm, cold, piquant.
If you didn't bring your fork,
You don't get to choose.

Oil sizzling in pan, spices popping,
stirred to blackness, snapping
and dancing, time to add the rice!
Oh blessed aromas of cooking,
enfold my senses in your savory arms!
