My life is MY PIE ….. its MINE it really is MINE everyone has one and when we choose to co-create and support each other we are choosing to flavor our pie.
You make your own pie with the ingredients that you choose.
Its not up to anyone else to make or choose ingredients for your pie.
Your pie your responsibility
LIFE is our PANTRY its full of delicious ingredients
The pantry and fridge are full of delicious ingredients, however if I choose to make banoffee pie, I may decide to leave out chicken, or spinach.
- Do I hate chicken no!
- Do I hate spinach no!
- Do I hate Tofu no!
- Do I hate coffee? well not hate but YUK it tastes bad….
Today Banoffee, tomorrow I might choose a different flavor.
Life is a fully stocked pantry we can choose what do and how we want to be. The restriction or expansion of our lives is under our control. Some ingredients we never taste, and some we long for.
We are already a full flavored pie and the flavour and texture reflects our life to this point.
So why does it seem to hard to make a nice pie?
We all have rules and recipes we use to make our PIE given to us over the years from parents, friends and what we have learnt along the way. We make our crust like this, this ingredient is better, you are not allowed to do that etc…
How much attention have you put into the creation of your pie? Have you spent quality time with each ingredient and process and decided to change or choose it as yours?
Do you stick to a recipe? or do you play and spice with out measuring?
Either way your pie is loved by some and disliked by others. We are all unique.
tastes yucky today...
Well it may be that I am now sick of banoffee, maybe I have started experimenting with fenugreek and they don’t really go, but actually I am really not into sugar, that was my mother’s recipe. I would actually prefer a savory flavor, but the salt just doesn’t go with banana. Hmm what should I do
we create our life every day
Sometimes it tastes good then I start to find it restrictive, or I get a reaction to the ingredients, I might be bored or I might have eaten to much sugar and I dont feel very well. Maybe I should try new some healthy flavors, Sometimes I am too tired and its very boring.
My PIE is a work in progress. Personally I dont often follow recipes in the kitchen, but my life has strong rules that form me and my experience of my life.
Some days the flavour is tastier than others
I dont mind because I know its my choice, and because its my life, I can make different choices to change it if I want to.
The main thing to know is that you have control of you and others have control over them selves.
Another person may choose to share their pie with me however its theirs and regardless of our agreement together, each person chooses how to create their own pie.
Most of us choose to consider others, maybe its love for our family, or community however every adult is responsible for their own pie. When its not tasty or when its not working , or when its not healthy we can change up the ingredients. How we bake it and how work with other cooks.
I first read this concept of life as a pie in one of the Abraham books by the Ester and Jerry hicks.
