A Recipe for Life

3 (or more as desired) teaspoons love

10 bags of nature

6 bags hugs and kisses

1 cup sadness or loneliness

5 packages fresh wonder (available in nature or at any library, school, or your mind)

1 open, understanding mind

1 large, sensitive, kind heart

Mix 2 teaspoons of love with the nature over a heavy boil. After about 9 months, the new life will emerge. Add some pure, unconditioned love to the mix for the next 3-5 years. Any kind of love will do, including hugs, kisses, laughter etc. Smiles will form when you have added enough. Add at maximum 1 cup sadness or loneliness periodically throughout the lifetime to make the person think about life and appreciate the world around it. Any more than one cup will cause low self-esteem and possibly anger. The child should begin to gain interest and wonder in the world, but add the 5 packages anyway...you can never have too much enthusiasm in life. The mix may begin to bubble violently, these are the life's dreams, this is good. Anytime between 10-16 years (the earlier, the better), open the mind and the large heart, mix in a separate bowl, and add to the life to develop integrity of emotions and the understanding. Let the blend cook for 2-5 more years. Makes one (1) happy, full life. Store in a loving, beautiful, wonderful environment.
