test kitchen
Do you trust your instincts?
flash in the pan
the crab gives us
a winter blush
…
creating dishes
much like
everything else
takes more than
our knowledge
but intuition
and action
if part one
Where does your story go from here?
we march on
for the next time
tulips bloom
…
sets the stage
part two
should continue
and expand
the story
with twists and turns
along the way
the coffee table
What do you talk about with your friends?
water marks
on the glass
from yesterday
…
may not have
coffee on it
but there is
always going
to be crumbs
leftover from
our conversations
across our chest
What does your clothes say about you?
ink runs down
the feather
to the mountains
…
everyone has
a shirt with
something to say
to share our personality
without even
saying a word
to others
warm up cool down
reach for it
the cat leans
for the light
…
we think
we know
but never realized
how vital stretching is
for warming up
and cooling down
until we pull something
impressions
Does image matter to you?
ripples
smeared on
the steak
…
leave us with
more than
just a feeling
but also
something for us
to remember
others by
nail in the wall
What do you think goes unnoticed?
broken glass
a picture of tulips
dresses the floor
…
why do we feel
like the weight
of the world hangs
on our head
and no one will see
our efforts until
the world falls?
clean plate
When was the last time you ate everything off your plate?
rare avalanche
leftover pasta sauce
hits the floor
…
when we want
to give someone
our appreciation
for an excellent meal
is another way
of saying
thank you
the reality is that
What did you learn today?
cast and set
wait for the line
to wiggle
…
chasing perfection
is not the goal
we need concern
ourselves with
and in it’s place
we should aim for
consistent learning
count down
Are you ready?
Green light
turning yellow
then red
…
one for the money
two for the show
three to make ready
and four to go
is more of
a count up
if we think about it
bookmark it
What are you reading this year?
a squirrel
dances along
the telephone line
…
highlight it
let it settle
in our mind
enough for us
to relect on it
until we are ready
to read again
a breath of
Does the cold bother you?
water drips
from the giant’s back
to the gutter
…
fresh air
can’t be unseen
once seen
is not something
we usually think
about when it’s
really cold
wait and see
What part are you playing?
after a year
the wall forgives
double sided tape
…
setting the trap
is only the first part
of the story
the next requires us
to wait for the fly
to do it's part
and stick the landing
wait, wait, wait
When do you exercise patience?
Apple pie
left on the counter
for our eyes
…
in a time
where everything
is literally
at our fingertips
we owe it
to ourselves
to show patience
photograph
What was the last photo you took?
cool chill
in the air before
the rainstorm
…
an eternity
can pass by
and we will
still be drawing
new meanings
from the still life
we look at
come with us
What are you thinking about today?
paradise
palm trees
in january
…
as we take
a look into
a world beyond
explanation
where only our
imagination
can show us
