Ruth’s Gleaning Cake
Yield: one household, with some left over.
Ingredients
1 full measure of loyalty
1 cup of humility, sifted fine
2 handfuls of industry
½ cup of counsel received without argument
3 spoons of kindness
1 cup of courage
2 cups of patience
1 cup of fine gratitude
1 cup of trust
Several large heaping tablespoons of restraint
Method
Heat the house, not the oven.
Loyalty goes in first. If it is missing, nothing else will bind.
Sift humility into industry so the work does not rise into pride. Mix only until the two are no longer separate.
Fold in counsel.
Do not overbeat.
Stir in kindness through the batter last.
Pour into an ordinary pan of your heart.
Do not grease it with self-interest.
Bake through the whole harvest, not the first afternoon.
The cake is done when it can be carried home and still feed another person.
Brush the top with whatever leftover mercy you were given.
Do not ice it.
To serve
Slice it for the bitter one first (Naomi called herself Mara).
Keep a portion for the household. If there is still some left, that is the point.
It keeps.
Quiet faithfulness does not stale as fast as a loud cake.
@JohnCleese Think harder Cleese.
Musk put those satellites in the sky.
The United States is a constitutional federal republic with a representative (democratic) form of government, not a democracy.
And kindly, the UK hardly represents anything democratic these days.
@MichaelsStores@DRTORQUENSTEIN So Michaels is refusing to frame a customer's picture because it contains the current president's image?
Is this real????!!!
Climate Justice?
Men can be women?
Palestine for LBGTQ+?
Abolish the police?
No Borders for countries?
Lawfare any students that want to be conservative?
Censor by sniper veto?
Hep B shots for all healthy babies?
Trust the "Science" and bat soup?
Trump, the game show host, is a Russian asset?
Yep. Sagan got it right.
@shelbystardust If policy and legislation is "propaganda" in the minds of Leftists, then Leftists have lost the ability to distinguish reality from rhetoric.
If the topic is gender ideology, I suspect you won't appreciate my perspective either.
I think it's demonstrably harmful making people reject objective things for subjective things.
It makes people value their humanity less and favor stereotyping more.
It's no better than racial identities, which are subjective constructs not reality.
At the heart of it is a narcissism that prefers disorder and chaos.
Waiting for that block.
