Beans on Toast

No need to wade through recipe books

hymning the culture of the

Mediterranean basin

or seek out a delicatessen

 

where a little man you know

stuffs unborn walnuts for you. No chives,

basil, marjoram, planning menus,

returning invitations,

 

sitting around making appreciative

noises -- just 8 minutes to make

& 6 to eat & it's over.

Fuel's in. Life goes on.

No one can give what he has not received. To give a thing requires first you have it in your own possession. Here the laws of Heaven and the world agree. But here they also separate. The world believes that to possess a thing, it must be kept. Salvation teaches otherwise. To give is how to recognize you have received. It is the proof that what you have is yours.
