All the Ingredients

You carry all the ingredients
To turn your existence into joy,
Mix them, mix Them!   ~Hafiz  (excerpt from "To Build A Swing")



       I remember when the kids were young, we erected a swing from Little Tikes in the backyard. When we opened the box, all the pieces we needed to assemble the swing were already inside.
   Love is like that. When you find the one you love, everything  you need is already inside the other person.  Everything.  All the experience, skill and beauty is within that person and complete.
    It is like making a pumpkin muffin and opening your pantry to find everything you need to completely bake that muffin. There is no need to add anything extra to the mix.
     Our human  bodies are made of about 30, 000 different genes and when we mix them and cross them we get over 7 billion different specimens of humanity. So when you find that unique person in your life,  it is wondrous. You have found the perfect mix to bring you joy.
