Live foods to Love

OH FOR THE WORDS TO FALL INTO MY LAP, from Val at http://eatsprouts.com

Where are the words for me to describe the surprise Healings along the path of raw? Places where you know you need healing, but never know how to reach.

On Friday I popped into Hi-Fi Corp service center for my TV remote. It's six o'clock, I'm tired. Telkom -- the monopolistic government-owned single telephone company in South Africa -- has been giving me the runaround all day. I'm hungry, half a papaya and a few small bananas are all I've had to eat. Hi-Fi Corp is going to be a quick pop-in pop-out.

Then the service manager keeps me waiting for ten million years while he searches for the price of my silly little remote. The guy who knows the price has gone home.

Now I'm Type A when it comes to waiting. I can't wait, I'm in a terrible rush. The only time I ever feel relaxed -- and time stands still -- is when I'm writing. But you know what happens this Friday?

I'm standing at the counter, I feel completely at peace. I feel my hand resting warmly on my cheek as I lean on the counter. I don't feel the hard counter-top. All I can feel wherever I touch is a palpable Love. Is it like squeezing a cloud? No, it's softer... Love is Omnipresent, so softly...

I'm completely one with an African next to me, nearly crying that he needs his broken cell phone replaced. He's lost his receipt but he's still paying for it on contract. They say they need the cash register receipt. He's in their computer but it doesn't count.

I'm in the Presence. But not consciously, "oh now I must be aware of my breathing, watch what's going on inside me." It comes to me, enters into me, out-of-the-blue.

You know if I'd walked out and got hit by an 18-wheeler, I would've soared into the Great Forever knowing that my last moments on earth were so warm, so deep, so SATISFYING.

I always longed for my Lover within to LOVE me. I never dreamt it would be in Hi-Fi Corp! Now I know, love chooses its own time.

All my life it's as if I've been making a meal in my kitchen. But behind me are heavy crates and boulders and so many obstacles that my Partner is unable to pop in and give me a warm hug.

Then I open my eyes and see RAW FOODS dissolving the barriers one-by-one. It's so subtle, yet SO HUGE.

And one Friday, I'm tired, I'm hungry, I've had a long day, I want to be HOME. In that moment, my Lover pops in and hugs me. And I'm home.

Do you see why I'm not buying chips this week? Why I'm making Roger's Savory Veggie Stew?

It's so simple, all the ingredients are in my refrigerator already, except for the plum tomatoes. I usually buy the round ones.
