rising

the yeast dissolved

in water warm

flour, eggs,
and honey
added to form
a ball

kneading
done

and now
we wait

with warmth
and time

the heart

expands

*I took this photo during the making  (my 2nd batch ever) of Challah bread. I made it Christmas Eve and we enjoyed it with an oven stew.



When I put it in the bowl to rise,
I couldn’t help but realize
how much like life
the process was.
