Thinking Outside The Pie

While making pumpkin pie today I was reflecting on life.... Creating food for my loved ones gets me to thinking on things beyond the scope of the kitchen. Don't we all look at folks and make a judgement about their character? We are so blind to reality, we create little scenario's about the people we know in our minds, we think...oh they are so perfect, they have it all together, look at that nice family. Or hmmm, they have issues, you can tell just by looking. Everyone has a story, emotions and reactions to those outside that secretly control them. For some the fear of being "found out" is more than they can bare. For others they tell all, at least the version they want you to hear, the censored one that allows them to share and use your emotions to feed their starving Souls, but they remain hungry, never filling up no matter how many times they try to feed themselves. In the "about me" of this blog I said I needed to share. I do, and I will throughout, sandwiched between experiences and recipes, like the layers of life. It is my desire that the things that have happened to me, my reactions to them, and the things I have done to others will validate all who share my journey, for we are but a small slice of the pie, created from the same ingredients, a part of the whole, so much more alike than different.
