silvery lines of snow
Ah! I have been taken by a moment of creative beauty just outside my window. It looked like wind started to spin sllver treads on the cloth of the night while turning (this autumn´s first) snow flakes into some kind of rainy lines. In front of my eyes really it was dancing silver. (horizontal line in the pic is the edge of the side-walk)

zucchini pasta
“It's kind of fun to do the impossible.”, said W. Disney. Well, I have been kind of thinking about it today. It was a perfect fast food day. I wanted to do more things then there is minutes in an hour and wasn´t very sure it was possible. But, at times one gets a bit wind in the back, or under the wings, if you know what I mean. Sometimes, kids just decide they too want to be neat and not add to workload of what you need to make look as if it is some kind of a pleasant order. Then, we got a drive home, which saved me an hour.
And lunch, yes, fast food! It sounded like a challenge to "only a banana and a cup of milk after twelve before going out" me. For, it was also ekadasi, so fast food could not be a "fast whatever sandwich". Looking in the fridge I discovered few more not so very ripe but home grown tomatoes still left from few days ago, given to my husband by his (proud to present surely in this summer of water) work colegue. And a bit of curly parsley with it, rather nice really. And a one left courgette given to me by my neighbour friend some time ago. And there it was, a beautiful oportunity to try what I wanted to do for some time now, courgette pasta (stripes of courgette that is). It took less then 15 minutes to have a great dish to offer and enjoy myself soon after. Sure, I may have been a touch generous on chilli, my son loved it but could not eat too much, I loved it, but I like chilli.
I also got to listen to Sacinandana Maharaj talking about Panca Tattva, almost nothing can be better, while creating that order out of disorder. And, I am almost done. Last break and last half an hour to do and I can sleap taken by a surprise of a day that went "my way". It is kind of difficult to start things we do not like to do or things that simply look impossible, things that scare us, feel way too tiring and demanding, impossible to menage in the time given... But, once we start it and make it as likable as possible and keep moving, it gets eventually easier, we get to experience that things are moving in the right direction and with a few breaks to rest and chear up, reevaluate, it moves and happens and it can make you feel, when you finally sit at the top of the mountain looking at that beautiful and unforgatable sunset, as if it is fun to do the impossible.
