”Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.
Steve Jobs
…he will forever inspire forward progress — empowering others to continue changing the world

”Cooking is not a mystery
the more heart we put out
the more heart we put in.
To bring cooking alive
we give our life. Giving
our life willingly we don’t
get put out.
Washing cutting cooking cleaning,
exploring ways to give life to our life.
Not knowing already how and
what to do,
practice feeling it
out of what is not known
through the warmth and anxiety,
not sticking to a particualr way,
insisting it is the only way
even though it is quite good;
open to feeling the various possibilities,
the tentative ways of giving life to our life.
To feel out our left hand, our back, our toes,
to feel out our breathing, our movements, our stance,
this is our freedom, this is our wisdom.
The mystery is that it is
possible to do
what we don’t know how to do.- from “Tassajara Cooking” by Edward Espe Brown

“A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving.”
— Lao Tzu, a philosopher of ancient China, best known as the author of the Tao Te Ching (often simply referred to as Laozi). His association with the Tao Te Ching has led him to be traditionally considered the founder of philosophical Taoism (pronounced as “Daoism”). He is also revered as a deity in most religious forms of Taoist philosophy, which often refers to Laozi as Taishang Laojun, or “One of the Three Pure Ones”.

”A meal, according to my understanding anyhow, is a communal event, bringing together family members, neighbors, even strangers. At its most ordinary, it involves hospitality, giving, receiving and gratitude.
