Summarize

prompt: no permanence is ours

Lessons from a Jelly Jar

and green onions

Last week, we covered living up to the promise of our transparency – serving up exactly what the label we’ve selected claims we are

so reliably so shockingly tastily so refreshingly free of BS preservatives that others scoop up every last spoonful, even licking our rim.

It’s the only way – authenticity – to avoid growing mold.

This week, let’s discuss opening our containers to out-of-the-box content. Who says the Great Manufacturer ordained I remain eternally strawberry jam or you, jalapeño jelly?

Open! Toss the lid limiting your abundance. Fill your crystalline aura with a Creator’s flow – every blade of you re-rooting, re-birthed to strive skyward

scallion jam garnishing another’s horizons.

I knew I wanted to answer Diana C.’s prompt for today — No permanence is ours.

But I couldn’t find my way and the Muse was on sabbatical.

She returned this morning while I was puttering with breakfast. My eyes fell on my repurposed jam jar…and voila!

Thank you, team at KTHT for the home. Thank you, dearest readers, for joining me on my journey to better know myself…and thereby heal.
