Expressing Peace. Sneaky Peace. 77.

Sneaky peace sneaked up on me today. What a beautiful surprise. It was a beautifully focused day because I was in the “flow”, as written about by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (and discussed in an earlier Expressing Peace).  Highly productive. Fast-moving.

Supper brings its own special joy. And peace. The joy of chopping, sauteing, seasoning, stirring, tasting, adjusting. The warmth rising from the stove.
