Thanks for your usual generous reading!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-38746226502323650942009-06-07T19:12:12.010-07:002009-06-07T19:12:12.010-07:00Well, I thought you'd be feeling so horrible a...Well, I thought you'd be feeling so horrible about not writing a Sunday poem I was going to suggest you should have posted Strawberry Rhubarb Pie because, as Mr Garrison Keillor says "Nothing takes the taste of humiliation out of your mouth like Rhubarb pie." But having read your wonderful French toast I guess you're probably not feeling so bad about yourself after all. What a rush. What a wonder.Grade A amber poured all over the paqe. The goldfinches were camped out on my feeder yesterday asking a musical question I couldn't catch either, and indeed the world grows larger some days and then constricts itself. I mentioned before how much I like the soundtracks playing behind and i particularly liked a dream I dreamed dreaming. <br />What larks! Everything's not a laugh, of course, but it's nice to have moments where you feel like it's so, and this is one of them.<br />Can you explain el corazon in Mexican art? I've seen clocks with a beating heart on them, I've seen day of the dead el corazon del muerte dolls with a heart painted inside the skeleton. I've read that el corazon is the most popular card in mexican bingo but I don't know what's behind it all. The Sacred Heart?Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11908332538776254864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-36955970870719287512009-06-07T16:25:00.301-07:002009-06-07T16:25:00.301-07:00Wow, Kat, that sounds great!Wow, Kat, that sounds great!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-88799114901790743472009-06-07T16:04:09.245-07:002009-06-07T16:04:09.245-07:00Thanks, John.

As a result of your remark I made a fresh sauce with tomatoes, arrabiata spice (and a dash of cinnamon), a dash of balsamic, frozen, chopped, garlic, linguine, olive oil and linguine tossed with Danish cream cheese. (all ingredients, organic). We are well satisfied now, thanks to you.<br /><br />KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-31808567167341384402009-06-07T14:44:01.144-07:002009-06-07T14:44:01.144-07:00Hi Karen, Willow, René & Kat:

Like your new icon, btw.<br /><br />René: Thanks, I do think this is a good poem, & I appreciate your generous response. Interesting to think of trying a setting like the Rumi material-- it just might work. Thanks as always!<br /><br />Kat: Glad you like it. Perhaps I'll post both the poem "Pasta Alleluia" & the recipe "Pasta Alleluia" some day soon!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-89319818854296023282009-06-07T13:57:48.852-07:002009-06-07T13:57:48.852-07:00More!

This was so good-in every way!<br /><br />I have to tell you John, I was opting out of carbs for dinner since we had croissants for brekky and fresh out-of-the City Bakery oven sourdough bread for lunch, BUT I cannot not have pasta for dinner now, thanks to your "Pasta Alleluia"!<br /><br />KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-64080991699748157552009-06-07T09:17:29.486-07:002009-06-07T09:17:29.486-07:00Oh my yes. this is my very favorite of yours. I lo...Oh my yes. this is my very favorite of yours. I love how have you woven this everyday happening into a symphony of senses and emotion and meaning. Beautiful. "...a peal of lovely laughter a rupture in the world's brown eggshell" just sunk my heart... and then the final eggshell image... heartache and joy together, and both coming through so fully.<br /><br />I notice too that both of our poems today mention red hearts opening and closing. :) I hope you enjoy the Rumi offering with Coleman Barks and music. Just the setting I think for these poems of yours.René Winghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466559054624950270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-41621078837075611132009-06-07T07:15:05.771-07:002009-06-07T07:15:05.771-07:00Wonderful!

My head is spinning from the rush of images expanding and shrinking and expanding again to fill this poem and this morning with beautiful amber sunshine! I love the speed with which the images tumble on one another and the beat of the whole. I must go back now and read it leisurely to enjoy each image one by one!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003379181294550035noreply@blogger.com
