I wish you life...

"Observe the wonders as they occur around you.
Don't claim them.
Feel the artistry moving through and be silent."
~ Rumi
I discovered Rumi a few years ago and ever since my heart hasn't been the same...

yes, the artistry....

the mynas' have returned. I can hear their oh-so-uplifting chirps.
i offer them my balcony to build their nests again.

i see my aloe vera plants multiplying and i help them propagate.
the satisfying joy of trying something new~ Granola
patience is not a great word when the zinnias are just a few days away from blooming.
a haunting tune that is playing on repeat in my mind.

a jug of water with whole lemons submerged in it.

dreaming of baking artisan breads everyday. (yeah dreaming;-)

life is sublime.

i wish you all life today.

Hey Arch - love you pictures. See if you can get a hold of a book called 'Artisan breads in five minutes a day' - my coworker loves it and she bring me fresh bread every morning.

I am just a weekend baker :) I made this bread yesterday with tomtato soup - try it - it is easy :

I love the aloe vera planted in a colorful coffee mug. But how do you manage to grow them in mugs? I understand the pots need to have a water outlet. I tried a similar arrangement in a traditional brass 'padi'. I couldn't succeed. :(

Hey Preethi~
The one growing in the tea mug is doing so because it's cracked;-)) The cracks gives it a water outlet:-)
