The aroma of the deep forest awakens nature's child,
rousing the ecologist hibernating
under layers of materialism.
The taste of autumn's bounty caresses my tongue,
flows down my throat,
warming each passing blood vessel,
and spills into my body's furnace
to ignite the day's activity.

Improvising a Gourmet Lunch
Jalál (Glory), 16 Rahmat (Mercy), 167 BE – Saturday, July 9, 2011 about 3:10 PM Pacific Time
Mom and I had a gourmet lunch today. I did not fix it from scratch, but used a frozen stir-fry meal. I know that is not what most people consider gourmet, but it is as close as I can get today. I enjoy cooking gourmet meals, but I do not get the pleasure very often. If I want a meal of this type, I have either to go to a restaurant or improvise. Today I improvised.
It is difficult to take Mom to a restaurant and I cannot leave her alone, so I cannot get a gourmet meal to go. I also did not go to the Commemoration of the Martyrdom of the Bab, for the same reason I could not got to a restaurant. It is difficult to take Mom out; she does not like to leave the house. Because Mom has Alzheimer’s disease, she has behavioral issues.
The doctor prescribed a new medication for behavioral problems, so Mom and I may be able to go out more often. I will have to wait and see how the medication affects Mom. There is a nineteen-day feast in a few day, so I will she how Mom is reacting to the medication; perhaps we can go to the Feast.
