What unexpected thing is calling you and how are you responding? What are you calling forth from another person? Is there anyone that you would not include in “all my relations”?

Cooked Greens

Boiling water breaks down molecular bonds

Transforming kale, oranges, even duck.

If not, why is everyone screaming?

KOAN

When James was head cook for a retreat, he told the teacher he heard kale greens screaming from the boiling soup pot.

“But Seppo is long dead,” James replied.

“Can’t you hear him screaming?” asked the teacher.
