Friday

it's been rough!

my first week as a veggie! i'm having a hard time deciding whether to include milk in my diet. i know that dairy cows are probably treated the best of all farm animals, and almost everything has milk in it. it's hard to avoid, not to mention expensive. i wont eat eggs, that has already been decided. but i don't think i'm prepared to completley drop dairy from my diet. i don't know if i can live the vegan life!
and also... the animal rights movement and vegetarian/vegan lifestyles are quite controversial. bah.

I don't know if you want my comments but because you are my wife's friend's daughter I think you should drink milk, and even though I think the eggs are an extreme it is real easy to get substitutes that make it easy to get the nutrients. I don't advise the veggie lifestyle I like to encourage a more strict "word of wisdom" adherence with everything in its season and in proper moderation (I can go on with that later). Acting extreme in many other ways makes a healthy lifestyle difficult and often dangerous to one's health. Hope I am not intruding or being to much of a dad type person but we care and lots of love from everyone in Cali!

interesting, no?

love after love

The time will come when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say
sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger
who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread.
Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life...

Take down the love
letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs,
the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit.
Feast on your life.

~Derek Walcott
