The Joy of Baking

Life is a lot like baking...

At first you need to use the recipe. You measure everything carefully, watch the clock, and use the tester to see if everything is done.

But if you really experience the recipe you begin to understand without understanding.... you already know the process you need to go through to bake the cake or cookies or biscuits you are craving... you can tell by looking if you have the right amount of ingredients... you know by smelling when it is almost ready, and you can hear and feel that it is done.

Life is a lot more complicated then baking a cake, but if we learn from our experiences, pay attention to our senses and learn to follow our heart, maybe we can all get better at "it" (whatever "it" is), or perhaps at the very least end up with a few less burnt dinners.
