Schmidt: Tear soup for the Christmas season

I would like to share this unique recipe with you. Food for thought, for the table of your soul.


Ingredients:

30 minutes of gratitude

1 memory of your warmest Christmas

1 hug from each family member and friends

1 pinch of mistletoe

Your heart

1 hour of silence

3 days of sunrise

1 day of sunset


In a quiet room, filled with a scent of love … fold in 30 minutes of gratitude … a memory of your warmest Christmas … family and friends’ hugs … with a pinch of mistletoe.


Slowly … add your heart and 1 hour of silence. Let simmer ... checking periodically … to see if your heart has softened.


When your heart has softened ... slowly pour in simmered ingredients ... a moment at a time.


Allow to settle through three days of sunrise and one day of sunset.


Serve with Christmas wassail, coffee or any beverage to settle your soul.


Serves as many who will be served.


May your tears be a gift of healing in this Christmas holiday season and the New Year.
