Remedy for Depression
Plant a Rose of Sharon
Wear a flower in your hair
Put sun-dried tomatoes
and raisins in your pasta
Put lavender on your pillow case
Play your favorite Lou Reed song
Buy a silk nightshirt from Ebay
Ponder the wild blue yonder
Listen to children play

I like these tangible ways of tasting life in a positive way … to ponder, listen and play.

A left-over Hippie from San Franisco perhaps? I stayed there for a month back in 1964 and loved every minute. My wedding ring has flowers, 1973.

I like the poem, although I’m struggling with raisins in pasta. I like both raisins and pasta, but having a hard time picturing them together, especially with sun-dried tomatoes. Is this a recipe that I’m missing?

A fine piece of work. But don’t let my husband Caddoc hear you talking about silk nightshirts . . .

Nature, food and songs. We just need these simple things to live well. 🙂
