Today I Bake
Sharing food with another human being is an intimate act that should not be indulged in lightly.
Today I dropped off cookies I had baked for the Ops team. I acknowledge that we all have a role to play in this machine, but these guys have been here every day that the school has been open, sometimes on days when it isn’t. They are making sure that things are clean, the phone is answered, the mail processed and delivered. I just wanted to do something nice for them.
Baking, cooking, sharing all this is definitely a way that I demonstrate my love and appreciation for folks. I give a little bit of my heart away each time, and do you know, that my heart never gets smaller…each time I do this, the love and pieces of heart from the folks I serve comes right back to me. It is a remarkable and physically defiant piece of magic, that.
So, I continue. There will be mischief made when I get home today!
