For the past year and a half I have made some sort of Jello each week for my elderly parents. They love it and look forward to it. I have made salads and desserts in all flavors and colors. Carrot/ Orange with mini marshmallows is a favorite, blue jello pond with peeps was a fail- it looked good though. The thing is I don’t like jello and never eat it. But here I am looking at ancient cookbooks for new jello ideas. So I totally get that Jello is love. It certainly is for me.
Barb, this is SO SWEET and you've inspired me to make some jello -- oddly enough, I haven't had it in so long. Jello really is love -- and you've proved that more beautifully than I ever could!
It is legit SPOOKY how you always write exactly what I need to hear! I've been thinking a lot lately about the whole idea of *resistance*... and how spiritual folks are always saying that if you just surrender to what *is* and what *wants* to happen, you won't have to worry about things like "productivity" and "willpower." But how SCARY that seems for our intellectualized brains!
For one thing, I gotta try laying on the ground more often :)
I am so glad you loved it! It does seem scary sometimes -- even to me! I want SO MUCH to be in DOING ... and TRYING... and yet, oddly enough, everything actually HAPPENS when I'm having fun and in a place of allowing things to flow. Definitely try lying on the ground -- you might be surprised what happens without you needing to do much at all! :)
"but if you asked me to do research on it, I’d tell you to go outside and lay down on the ground and see if you could feel it for yourself." --> this is my kind of PhD
Your "jello blob" reminded me of this time I was hiking a volcano in Guatemala. I was with a group and my hiking pace landed me in the middle with some group members way ahead of me and some way behind me. This was a very rugged hike with unmarked trails and no map, so you had to try to figure out what the main trail was up the volcano. Sometimes other paths would intertwine with the main trail and I was getting nervous if I was following the group in the right direction since they were not in sight. Every time I would start to get nervous, I noticed a dog just ahead of me and I decided to follow the dog. Then after a while the dog would get too far ahead and disappear until I started to feel fear again and then the dog would suddenly appear ahead of me. It seemed like the dog was "nudging me" in the right direction just like your blob. It was an experience that I can't even explain, but it showed me that the universe had my back and that I was always going in the right direction. Thank you for sharing ❤️
P.S. I decided to make jello while listening to this post 🤣
