Hi friends and family!
I've finally done it. Broken down and started a food blog. The purpose really is rather selfish. It's to catalog the recipes that I initially come across on websites like tastespotting.com and then tinker with to my liking.
As I was reading Ram Dass's Paths to God, I stumbled upon a quote from the Book of Tao. "By letting it go, it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try, the world is then beyond the winning." If you are going to make a meal right, you can't be worried about making it perfect - can't be trying to make it right. In doing so, you lose that elusive present moment that we, mindful practitioners so seek.
As I understand it, karma yoga is the practice of letting go of your attachment to the outcomes of your actions.
Cooking is my karma yoga :)
