“I was certain that if you offer a child the widest possible range of food from the earliest age in a loving environment, if you eat together as often as possible, and demonstrate your own enjoyment of flavour and texture and conviviality, that child will eat well forever, and will enjoy being with others around a table for the rest of his or her life. After all, that is the lesson of my own life.”

My grandfather would walk into the house, on a summer evening after his work, then empty his catch of mud crabs into the bathtub.
My Grandfather’s Ice Pigeons – Robert Adamsom
One becomes a grandfather and one sees the world a little differently. Certainly the world becomes a more vulnerable place when one has a grandchild, or now I have two. And I think that possibly there’s some tenderness that came out of just time and age and being a parent and grandparent.
SHE wears a bathing suit of blue, And to the beach she goes, With pretty giggles of delight, To dip her dainty toes.

A fruit tree that grows in a dung heap will certainly blossom.
Deeds are fruits, words are only leaves.

“For the vision is yet for an appointed time…though it tarries, wait for it” (Habakkuk 2:3, KJV).
God has an appointed time to fulfill the visions, dreams, and desires in your heart. Just because it has taken a long time or because you’ve tried and failed doesn’t mean it’s not going to happen. Don’t give up on those dreams! Don’t be complacent about pursuing what God has placed in your heart. Our God is a faithful God. No matter how long it’s been, no matter how impossible things look, if you’ll stay in faith, your set time is coming.Remember, every dream that’s in your heart, every promise that has taken root, God put it there. Not only that, but He has every intention of bringing it to pass. Hold on to that vision today. Declare by faith, “My time is coming. God is working behind the scenes on my behalf. I will fulfill my destiny!” As you continue to hold on to that vision and speak life over your dreams, it won’t be long before you see them begin to take shape. You’ll see your faith grow, you’ll see your hope strengthen, and you’ll see yourself step into the destiny God has prepared for you!
It is much easier to earn a lot of money than to find a bosom friend.

MEMBER’S POEM: A FRIEND
A faithful friend is hard to find’
Who’ll stand through thick and thin, ]
But my ‘ ‘dog, ‘Dutch,
‘ is just ‘the kind
Who’d do that sort of thing.
She’s just a ‘Cairn terrier pup,
‘ As full of mischief as can, be.
With ears and tail cocked up so bold
As straight as one can see.
Two gleaming eyes, a cold, ‘wet ‘nose,
She stands there all agog,
A tiny bark, a wagging- tail
And that is ‘Dutch,’ my dog.
“If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.” ― George Harrison
God gives every bird its food but they must fly for it. (Dutch)
Sabır acıdır, meyvesi tatlıdır. Translation: Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. Turkish.
MIRIAM LO
FRUIT IN SEASON 2: WHAT RHYMES WITH . . .peaches? Beaches. A peach of a beach.
Gracetown in summer. A soft fur of heat
over bodies. The water, icy. Exploding
gently on legs as fruit in the mouth.
Sand the texture of peach stone: gritty,
rough. China, a memory refracted
through tropics: small fat god, white beard,
riding a deer. A Chinese Santa Claus.
In his hand, the fruit of which we speak:
everything peachy

Tree leans on tree in the forest and man on man in national life.
Each swipe of the dish-sponge is anger or regret,
choices have consequences, consequences constrict
to the tightness of skin on a fruit, this feijoa
I slice into, savagely, and stop. Pineapple-scented.
The soft, fragrant jelly within.
