b16 (2.8-4.2003): baklavahhhhhh!

baklavahhhh! [1]

                                                          
a multitude of layers
a smooth, uneven, fit
a party for the taste-buds
can’t get enough of this
 
it’s sweet and sometimes nutty
it’s honey and it’s crust
it is a living paradox, so take a bite (you must)
 
okay (it’s sometimes sticky)
okay, it (sometimes) flakes
okay (it seems imperfect), but here comes my final take:
 
the secret’s in the process
a co-creation (aaahhhhhh!)
a multitude of layers
a life of baklava

• inspired by Ram Das, who, during a lecture in tallahassee on february 5, 2003, said something like: “life is like baklava.” 

• kind of makes you want to take a little bite out of life, doesn’t it?                   

* life wouldn’t taste as great (if we left out all of the nuts).
