Lemon Meringue Pie

                              "Remembering The Light" - Kevin Kern

"Only now, after she is long passed,
and each of us have gone our separate ways,
do I know the only ingredient in her pie
that I ever dreamed about: the love."
   
          from Lemon Meringue Pie - Carolyn J. Fairweather Hughes


When we get the chance to appreciate a home-cooked meal or try a family recipe, we are eating more than just a  piece of food. We are taking a private journey of love. The pie was baked for us and the  warmth of the oven made us feel comfortable and safe.
   I think back what Victor Hugo said:

"Woe, alas, to those who have loved only bodies, forms, appearances! Death will rob them of everything. Try to love souls, you will find them again."
