Meals for One

Preparing food is an act of care for oneself and others. For Longreads, Sharanya Deepak writes about the joys of learning to cook for herself:

“Now, when I cook, it is after I have read Rebecca May Johnson’s Small Fires, which teaches me to focus on my gestures. I avoid the need to text her every time I am moved by how she recalls action. Instead, I slice a malta orange. I watch my hand dip into the cut-glass box with chaat masala I stole from my mother and watch the masala emerge, tucked into a small steel spoon. I watch myself take the cluster off a head of garlic, I watch myself heat butter and mix honey in with it to put on toast. I watch myself. 

In these gestures, a new person emerges, a person that understands sensory preferences, who can witness herself move. I have never known this person. I like her. I tell her about how I always thought that pleasure belonged to someone else.”

🟢 Eat these 3 foods to restore your spine:

Did you know that dried apricots, figs, and prunes can restore your spine and give you strength?

Take 1 fig, 5 pieces of dried apricots and 1 prune.

Eat them before bed for 1.5 months. They cause the restoration of the tissues that make up the intervertebral soft discs. They make these tissues more stable and elastic. This is what will lead to the vertebrae starting to return to their places. 🤔

Apologies

Moments when I care about nothing except an apple : red as a maple tree satin and speckled tart and winy.

Moments when body is all : fast as an elevator pulsing out waves of darkness hot as the inner earth molten and greedy.

Moments when sky fills my head : bluer than thought cleaner than number with a wind fresh and sour cold from the mouth of the sea.

Moments of sinking my teeth into now like a hungry fox : never otherwise am I so cruel ; never otherwise so happy.

Creating space for nothing…

Gloriously still…

Thank so much you for supporting my work! patreon.com/kimchicuddles text reads:

How many times has my heart seen itself reflected in a shiny surface and mistaken the interaction as LOVE?

When all my heart needed was a warm, safe container to be held and encouraged to grow roots in.

🌟Weigh-in at 135.4 lbs

🌟45 min on treadmill hills

🌟Gut-healthy meals

🌟Made a winter arc inspo for my Pinterest board

Lol you can’t read the treadmill, but overall did almost 17k steps for the whole day. Steamed egg with spinach, mushroom, and green onion on top of quinoa for a high protein, gut-healthy breakfast. Old fashioned oatmeal with cinnamon, vanilla extract, chopped almonds, flaxseed, pumpkin seeds, and blueberries. Meal prepped sautéed bok choy, tofu, and shiitake mushrooms topped with hemp hearts and a side of quinoa for extra protein.

Decreasing is essential to life. The moon waxes and wanes. It increases to a full moon and decreases to a new moon, completely hidden from sight.

Throughout life, there are times when decreasing is inevitable. You may have less money, lose someone you love, or even need to control your emotions. Regardless, learning to balance while faithfully being yourself will lead to happiness.

Humans naturally crave community and belonging. We want to help each other, but this kind of help can only be useful if you don't lose yourself.

Sadly, some people don't want help or may abuse the help you offer them. But how are you supposed to tell?

You need to observe and watch what they care for. What does a person spend most of their time paying attention to? This will give you insight into what a person really loves and can tell you whether it's someone worth helping or not.

As I like to say, don't plant your seeds in dead soil. Every fruit has limited seeds; if planted in the wrong soil, it'll never grow and bear fruit.
