You are a masterpiece

YOU ARE A MASTERPIECE

A plum once said, just because a banana lover came by, I converted
myself into a banana. Unfortunately, his taste changed after a few
months and so I became an orange. When he said I was bitter I became an
apple, but he went in search of grapes. Yielding to the opinions of so
many people, I have changed so many times that I no more know who I am.
How I wish I had remained a plum and waited for a plum lover.

Just because a group of people do not accept you as you are, there is
no necessity for you to strip yourself of your originality. You need to
think good of yourself, for the world takes you at your own estimate.
Never stoop down in order to gain recognition. Never let go of your
true self to win a relationship. In the long run, you will regret that
you traded your greatest glory - your uniqueness, for momentary
validation. Even Gandhi was not accepted by many people. The group that
does not accept you as you is not your world.

There is a world for each one of you, where you shall reign as king /
queen by just being yourself.
Find that world... in fact, that world will find you.

What water can do, gasoline cannot and what copper can, gold cannot.
The fragility of the ant enables it to move and the rigidity of the
tree enables it to stay rooted. Everything and everybody has been
designed with a proportion of uniqueness to serve a purpose that we can
fulfill only by being our unique self. You as you alone can serve your
purpose and I as I alone can serve my purpose.
You are here to be you... just you.

There was a time in this world when a Krishna was required and he
was sent; a time when a Christ was required and he was sent; a time
when a Mahatma was required and he was sent; a time when a J.R.D.Tata
was required and he was sent. There came a time when you were required
on this planet and hence you were sent. Let us be the best we can be.
Don't miss yourself and let the world not miss you.

In the history of the universe, there has been nobody like you and
to the infinite of time to come, there will be no one like you.
Existence should have loved you so much that it broke the mould after
making you, so that another of your kind will never get repeated. You
are original. You are rare. You are unique. You are a wonder. You are a
masterpiece. .. your Master's piece. Celebrate your Uniqueness.

Vegetarian chili and corn bread!

This is total inspiration from Hyson and Kasia, when they cooked this at the youth silence course....absolutely heaven! I actually didn't make this totally from scratch...bought a can of vegetarian chili and corn bread mix from Trader Joe's, and added some sauteed zuchinis, carrots, and tomatos in the chili towards the end so there's at least some freshness. For the corn bread, i used coconut oil.... Serve hot and top it off with shredded cheese and sour cream. YUMMYYYYYY is all i can say!!!!!
