29 October 2022 - Australian family - International family - food & art

It's the weekend.

Saturday to be precise.

You began the day today with conversations.

Conversations with family in Australia.

As words, your sounds made were indecipherable.

Nevertheless, they were completely enamoring in their impact.

 

Aunt Rabs and her family were at the beach in North Wollongong.

A call to congratulate your twin cousins (Maysoun for her speech success, and Lina for her successful composition of music for a play) followed. Aunt Leila joined in too!

You can't yet read.

You can't yet speak.

But, you can absorb information.

Part of the information put in front of you today was old school comic cartoons and poetry.

Data points for your brain to choose what to do with!

Whilst in your car seat en route to a lunch invite, you showcased what it means to shift rapidfire between expressed emotions.

I may have already mentioned this to you, and yet there is nothing to be lost in repeating it.

The creation of food is analogous to the creation of art.

Today that idea was brought to life in real time.

6 hours of preparation preceded this first snap

Less so before this stage was gotten too.

The last stage in the oven, bringing it all together.

Dinner is served.

Thank you Abu Ali.

Thank you Ali and Tanya too.

Food can be just a resource.

Or... 

It can be a source of aesthetic please.

It can be a source of sharing and unification.

It can be source of moments elevate and bring joy.

Choose what it is that you want from it.

Then go for it;

Creating it.

You can do it!

Both of you!
