Good Grief ! Pantry inventory March 3, 2014
Some folks bottle up their grief
Keep their tears away from the light
The lighthouse of friends that will ease
Them out of that dark relentless night

And then there is the joy
Cooking together
Breaking bread
And eating pie........

Nice looking pie! I know where to go if I'm hungry and thirsty.
ReplyDeleteIt is always good to have a lighthouse of friends! And that pie really DOES look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI guess we need a way to make sure grief is not inky bottled up.
ReplyDeleteThis lemon pie looks wonderful!
P.S. Sorry also about the death of your father.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I meant 'only' bottled up.
ReplyDeleteTo be among friends and to be cooking together. That is a privilege of sharing knowledge and having fun. Nicely Kathe!

i def am not one to keep my feelings bottled...i probably let them flow a bit free...ha...i am much more the community style...sitting around sharing...
ReplyDeleteThe words and pictures are so hospitable - and really, a good way to proceed in life.
ReplyDeleteI will certainly remember "lighthouse of friends." A powerful phrase.
ReplyDeleteDear Kathe,
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about your father's death ... I am so sorry.
You are spot on regarding those bottles of grief we cart around.
Take care,
Helen

ReplyDeleteI really like the metaphor of a lighthouse for friends. Nicely written.
ReplyDeleteI love the first poem! And I love pie, so. . . ;)
ReplyDeleteBottling up grief is not the best, smash that bottle and let it go. Thank God for friends and the support they bring.
ReplyDeletehow fortunate to have a lighthouse of friends...
ReplyDeleteA very warm entree into your family home. That pie is to die for...lucky guys:)
ReplyDeleteYou are a very talented writer. Very talented.
ReplyDeleteThat pie looks amazing too.
Have a fabulous day my friend. :)
Thank goodness for those friends in times of loss and grief. Sorry about your father. Thanks for writing and posting.
ReplyDeleteThings that stay bottled up too long have a way of going sour.
ReplyDeleteGood thoughts, and a nice pie!
Now I'm craving pie! :)
ReplyDeleteSome things were not meant to be bottled up that is for sure. Hope all is well with you these days Kathe. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite pie - and what a coincidence that you wrote this in the week that I was feeling so glum!
ReplyDeleteNice...I did laugh at the bottle invintory I have an overflow most of the time
ReplyDeleteNothing like friends to help us open up our bottled grief and turn it into precious wine.
