scrambled eggs : the french way : fried?

Monday:

I woke up this morning as I often do, on a sofa in the house of someone else . Over the weekend I purchased some amazing groceries from eastern market and swore off all trips to establishments that require money for the week. I use only fresh ingredients so I was a like a little school girl when I returned with the plunder of my trip, but that is neither here nor there. Let us return. Monday morning I woke up and glancing around the room saw my dear friend Steve cooking. Upon closer investigation he was making eggs with fresh basil leaves and parmigiano reggiano. Immediately I learned that these were not scrambled eggs but fried fluffy eggs the french way, with a little lemon juice to top this "strangely intriguing" dish off, we rejoiced in the God of all sunlight beaming through the windows the moment at hand.  I opened the Bible and let the Detroit sun warm the pages my fingers turned.

psalm 116:7  I said to myself, "Relax, because the Lord takes care of you.

matthew 5:4 They are blessed who grieve, for God WILL comfort them.

psalm 108:1 God, my heart is steady.  I will sing and praise you with all my being.

I once said that if I could be a professional in anything it would be communication. Everyone who knows me knows that I will be ever-striving not just to talk, but to communicate. I will do everything I can to have the right words and actions in every situation. Well I have seen myself at a loss for words recently and so the blog may seem random but its a collection from the mind. Heart to Head to Blog. Imagine me reading this and even perhaps envision a dusty room on a high floor of a crowded noisy apartment building with crumpled paper in and around a trash can to my left.  A small incandescent lamp illuminates my fingers, typewriter and the dust, but is clearly insufficient to light the small one room home/work space.  I am pouring over my work realizing that sometimes the first thoughts are the best thoughts.

With no words left I have God's. They don't fail.

p.s. some wonka…wisdom

MR. SALT: What is this, Wonka?  Some kind of fun house?

WONKA: Why, having fun?

MRS. TEEVEE: I've had enough.  I'm not going in there.

MR. BEAUREGADE: Come on, Violet, we're getting out of here.

WONKA: Oh, you can't get out backwards.  You've gotta go
forwards to go back.  Better press on.

whoa…that's deep :)
