Pancake Pirouette

Jan 11, 2003    Write an essay on this topic.


The Bottom Line n/a

I know how

.....to pirouette while making pancakes,
.....to direct the orchestra with my spatula,
.....and to use the spoon as my microphone.

I know that

.....pot roast prepared while listening to Mozart tastes much better,
.....'Sloppy Joes' require jazz,
.....and rock and roll will produce tasty tacos.

I know how to vacuum with joy,

.....because I am free to choose when,
.....and if,
.....I vacuum at all.

I know how to dance with my mop
.....and admire my occasional snazzy move.

I know that my most profound thoughts can come while doing dishes.

I know that I’m a better person

.....because Beethoven makes me cry,
.....and rhythm and blues make me move,
.....and a rose petal against my cheek can make me quiet.

I know that occasionally, I am in touch with my higher self,
.....and at those times, I’m confident that all is as it should be.

I know that frequently,
.....I forget that I know these things.

I know that when I’ve forgotten;

..........meals are only to be eaten,
..........a house is only to be cleaned,
..........children are only to be raised,

....................and I live only to die.

I know there’s more, somehow.

I know that life is not about the event.
.....Life is about how I live each event.
