Another photo analogy ;-)

I was just going to upload this picture and call it a post:

But was reminded of a conversation I had earlier about how life unfolds: the uncanny way people meet and come to know each other.. And was also reminded of how I wanted my 5 - 6th? bowl of lentil soup right now.


Thus, the two have been compiled in an English major BS-able way as follows :D


-------------------------
[Story of Lentil Soup]

Simmered 10 am to 3 pm.
High to low to medium to low heat. A journey from much bubbling chaos to soothing placidity (to yummy in my tummy hohoho)

Ingredients included
Lentils/H20/broth/bay leaves/basil thyme/pepper/celery/carrots/garlic/onion/maple syrup/lemon juice/balsamic vinegar/tomatoes/spinach/innate passion for watching water boil

Everything can't be dumped into the pot at once. Certain components need to be introduced gradually, with the progression of 3 hours of simmering - and some ingredients, like the tomatoes or spinach, are thrown in right at the last moment (or they wilt and lose substantial flavor).
Others need to be prepared separately to join in the simmering fun.


In this way, the soup itself is orchestrated and conducted to fully develop the beauty of its taste. Ingredients build upon each other to bring out their rich flavors.

It reminds me of the varying notes and atmospheres which uniquely make up a song. Each lull and climax has its own place and sequence, so that the end result is of lasting wonder.


Essentially,


timing - can be everything.
