Recipe for a Mindful Summer

Savour the sunshine,

feast on the breeze,

distil its essence and

learn how to squeeze

gallons of flavour

where ounces occur;

sprinkle this hour

with seasoning – and stir.

**********************

I love herbs. My dill patch is a good place to feast on the breeze as it releases its lovely summer scent…

    It’s nice to have non-metric poems for a change.

  6. I love dill! Lots of it was needed for cooking the grayfish for the traditional early August grayfish parties in Sweden and Finland…miss those fairly “wild” occasions of my youth. I still use it a lot, but for somewhat calmer celebrations, and I love the scent!

      Funny how a certain scent can bring back all those memories!! Sounds like you’ve had plenty of international adventures in your lifetime already – cool!

    Such a subtle sensitive “recipe”! Love it. “Savour the sunshine,

    feast on the breeze,…” these lines brought me right into the “essence” of summer.
