Wordle: Making Peace With The Sugar Cane
"Making Peace With The Sugar Cane
Running Through My Veins"
"Sugar, because of its simpler chemical structure, was once assumed (without scientific research) to raise blood glucose levels more quickly than starch, but results from more than twenty studies demonstrate that sugar and starch cause blood glucose to rise at similar rates." Wiki

"Long Live The Weeds And the Wilderness Yet.."


Wordle: Wildness & Wet (Inversnaid)



Inversnaid
THIS darksome burn, horseback brown,
His rollrock highroad roaring down,
In coop and in comb the fleece of his foam
Flutes and low to the lake falls home.

Degged with dew, dappled with dew
Are the groins of the braes that the brook treads through,
Wiry heathpacks, flitches of fern,
And the beadbonny ash that sits over the burn.

What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet
Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–89). Poems. 1918.

February 13: Self-Love Day MAKES V-Day P*h*e*n*o*m*e*n*a*l

Wordle: Feb 13th is St Wanda's Day

St. Wanda's Day
IS YOURS

~ St Wanda ~
Why?

For the Bright Being
Inside of you and me

Whom we needs must honor
If we would truly open
To a rich-red-hearted
Full-throated
Exquisitely embodied
Valentine's Day

February 13th
Take this Day
From dawn 'til dusk
To and from your secret bed

To dwell inside your
Ever-spacious heart

See what you find there
And fully embrace it
 
 So that on Valentine's Day
You may turn
With all your self
And all your Will
And say with all your hearts
I love you
I love Me
Come
Come inside……


WANDA

Staff of Life buzzz (........on the Mooooooove!!)


The buzz inside Staff of Life right now is palpable; very exciting. BIG MOVE scheduled for Feb 15th... right across the street (still closely neighboring 24 Hour Fitness, which is a good thing for any Natural Food Store :)

Staff at Staff have been over the road for trainings this week and the word from the shop floor is that the spirit we know and love has been faithfully carried over into the new space.

Perhaps it is part of catching the excitement that I saw Chef Deanna's sweet PT Cruiser out back for the first time this morning...

About Staff of Life

Staff of Life celebrated its 40th Birthday recently. Their history is as colorful as the times that birthed this one-of-kind local grocery store; The Old Days

"He Writes The Lessons Of The Heart And Learns Them Well.."

Then rest in peace
now may you sweetly sleep
for we were tested and did find
our Love run deep
Then come the Winter Solstice
let us now our Vows renew
we enter into marriage
free and true...
