Food, aboriginal art, and fog

Yesterday's promised tornadoes and huge hail didn't materialize here, just rain. But I think I need to cover my seedlings for shade today, because

I live in the middle of that red bit. Meanwhile overnight there was fog.

I live in that grey bit. And, this really cracked me up, in case we didn't know what fog looked like, the weather service posted this picture of it

So that made it all perfectly clear..

Yesterday when I got home in pouring rain from my knitting group, my Misfits box had arrived. No picture of it on the step on account of rain.

This morning, great timing, Krista Tippett had a guest on her podcast, a psychologist and nutritionist with the reminder that we are indeed what we eat. 

She discussed how the brain takes on nutrition before the rest of the body, needs a lot of it and can not function with a poor diet. All pretty self evident but worth revisiting. 

She's written a book on it, and it Tippett herself has a podcast on spiritual issues,  well worth tracking down, thoughtful and balanced. I used to catch her on radio years ago, lost track and now thank Chris for reminding me of her.

But eating well is not just attending to needs. It's also such a pleasure. It can be seen as a spiritual duty, too, if you're inclined to that interpretation. Me, I think it's fun.

And here's a piece of aboriginal art which speaks to me so profoundly, that I hope you take the meaning I get from it, too.

Very serious around here today! Happy day everyone, eat well, feel fine.
