A Secret Each

Round and about,
Other things exist,
Inside and within,
A secret sleeps;
Of a life by itself,
By itself, a life unique;
And yet to all life,
A secret each.
To be held within,
But never doubting,
The stranger and his secret,
The sea and the beaches,
The baker and his bread,
The graveyard and the graves.
All these and more,
All we hold in awe,
Tells us the parts,
That make the whole,
But the whole itself asleep,
For the parts,
A secret each,
Are by themselves,
Unique.

"The purpose of life is a life of purpose." -Robert Byrne

...making a good apple pie.

(Shhhhh...actually, the secret is in the crust.)

No kneading (needing? ) in pie crust. You cut. It is about mixing, and cutting, ingredients at the right temperature. Then, adding water to just the right texture...it has to be felt to know.

One can experiment, one can get a cookbook and try to learn on one's own...but the best way is to have a teacher who can point out the right way and feel.

Apple Pie....did someone say, Apple Pie?

I think I could live off of Applie Pie alone. Far better than most cakes, better than pumkin for sure. And in a pinch, a slice of cold apple pie with a cup of hot, black coffee is a great breakfast....

Man, I miss home made apple pie! Had to buy mine at a bakery.

Good, but just lacking that je nais se quoi.

Well...if we have another Hoodat...I might be inclined to donate one. Of course, you would have to win.

Ah...the secret to life...is winning.

Hmmm, I wonder if oldman accepts bribes. Half of an apple pie maybe?

hey...why can't *I* get an apple pie...

wait I miss-read that-I thought you said the secret to life is whining.
