Consciousness Existence

Welcome to existence, the act of living one’s life through hard times and good times. Existence is taking in the beauty all around you, even when shrouded by the dark clouds of negativity or despair. To be fully aware of your existence, you need to first be aware of your mental or spiritual consciousness, and only then will one truly be able to “exist”. Some people who are filled and driven by hatred fail to make this connection and instead of masterfully existing, they’re more or less just “there”. The reward of being physically and mentally conscious of your existence is being able to live your life to its fullest. Existence is yours and it’s something that can’t ever be taken away from you, even long after you’re gone. If you take the time to build a legacy, the future will take the time to remember it. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but merely transformed from one thing to another. Don’t worry yourself about which view, or interpretation of existence is correct. Just exist in the HERE and NOW every day, that’s all you need to do, that’s all that matters.

Bagels

I love bagels. They go great with so many things. Butter, jam, cream cheese, and they even work as the bread part of a sandwich. These delicious baked products are very popular in Poland and North America, but did you know that they originated mainly from Germany? Even though they’ve come from across the pond, bagel aficionados will tell you that New York is the king of all bagel cities, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better bagel shop than what the big apple has to offer. You can oftentimes find these tasty baked rings of bread with various toppings such as sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onions, and more. One popular kind of bagel has lox toppings, which is a salmon product with added cream cheese and other toppings, thereby making it a complete meal. As I end this blog, a quick question for you. What do you deserve in life that is also a type of bagel? The answer? Everything.

Cooking in the clouds

Have you ever cooked in the clouds? Watching the clouds trickle across the sky is like watching a TV episode that never airs reruns. It’s always new and original and you can never be sure of what the mysterious skies will show you next. Just like snowflakes, every cloud is different. You can lay out in your backyard and even though you know where you are, you can easily get lost in the clouds that sail by overhead. Oh luxurious cloud, with folds so soft and fair, swimming across the sky without the slightest care. Their fleeces are drenched in sunlight, while below the shadowy vale of cloud cover creeps ever slowly. If you can paint with all the colors of the wind surely you can cook with all the ingredients you can find hidden in the clouds.

Autumn Fun

Autumn has always held a special place in our collective consciousness. If Winter symbolizes rest, Spring rebirth, and Summer the joy of youth, then Autumn represents peace and reflection- a time when we set aside the worries and cares of the rest of the year, and simply enjoy nature in all her glory. Trees burst into leafy flames of orange and burnt umber, and even the skies take on a cerulean glow. Walk outside on any given Autumn night, and you can almost hear our primal ancestors chanting around the red-gold sparks of a tribal hardwood fire.
