TANPOPO (An Original Poem)
One sip
of genmai
life becomes
a beautiful sigh
nothing now exists
but a
steaming bowl
of soba
spicy tuna rolls
and a kind
of kindred peace
that makes tolerable
the troubles of the day.

As you can see from the photo above, I've been writing for a really, really long time. These past few months on Steemit have truly been a lifelong dream come true for me. There are many more very exciting things I have to share with you in the coming months! To follow my unfolding story please visit my website here to sign up for my author newsletter.
And I am craving for food now.
Yes, food can comfort the soul.
Beautifully written
There is something about beautifully prepared food, made with care and love... That definitely can make your troubles drift away. Beautiful @ericvancewalton
Thanks, @macksby.
Have you seen the movie Tampopo from 1985? (wow, can it really be nearly 30 years ago that I saw it?) Fabulous Japanese movie about food, relationships and life. I remember we walked up and down Courtenay Place in Wellington looking for noodles when we came out.
I'll have to look that one up. I wonder if it's on Netflix?
worth a shot, I think you'd like it

Thanks @robyneggs. We'd eventually like to live part of the year overseas but I have to sell more books before this can become a reality. Hempfest in Portland sounds cool, that would make for a good post! Enjoy!
