Chef's Wisdom

Chef's Wisdom

A Poem by B

The same water that mashes a potato
Hardens an egg

Given the same blade
A carrot resists in restrain

A tomato simply opens up
Forming a flower

Facing a hardship
Only meant to make a heart softer

Never to stone

I guess at the end of the day

It's all about content 
All held within

Interesting thoughts and analogies. Sometimes the simple thoughts can be so profound. Nicely done.

Thank you Willard
It's the same with people, you don't always see the beauty of them on the outside, it's the inside that counts. Like it very much, Nisreen. :) Rudi

Very short.
this speaks to me the way a good meal made with love speaks to me...a cook is something so underappreciated, and does something of pure beauty and love. I don't know if this is your meaning or not, but I love the end, because I see a meal at the end of the day and that feeling of content because you hold within you all that which was created by the cook with love.

Lovely piece of work...tasty!!

Thank you Andrew ...... i really want to visit Australia
As the same words to express joy can also recount sorrow. This is the first I've read of yours in a bit of time and you still capture everything in almost nothing. Well written my friend.
