Susan Patterson and granddaughter, Nahla. Not an Unusual Discussion With the Divine
Oh, Dear God, not now.
Now is not the time
Listen to me,
I know what I’m talking about.
I’ve been working so hard
To do the right thing,
Now is not the time
For this other.
No, not now.
Okay, I’ll do it.
And, yes,
I do know it’ll
Be good.

Audio for Not an Unusual Discussion With the Divine
Discussion:
We all have to deal with the unexpected in life. Whether it is a surprise child, a job change or a health challenge, things happen. Such occurrences may be unsettling, but they can often turn out to be some of the best happenings in our life. It just may take us a while to understand the fact that changes, surprises and challenges can be pretty darned good. I know that we can all identify with this poem.

Pie Making Tips:
It's summer after all and fresh pies are on the menu. At least that is the way it is in Oregon. Now, I'm not going to tell you that my pies win the Oregon State Pie Bake Off Championship year after year. Nor am I going to tell you that I could make millions selling my pies. But, I will tell you that they do get pretty darn good reviews.
So, let's talk pie filling.
My family likes thick pies that are not runny, hold together and are not too sweet. Here is what I use for a 9" pie:
2 quarts of berries, fresh or frozen
Mix together:
1/3 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar (or you can always sweeten with agave syrup)
1 tsp. cinnamon
Pour dry ingredients over berries and mix gently until well covered.
Bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour. Enjoy with a good cup of tea, of course.
That's it. Pie crust discussion can come at a later time. (If you don't want to bake your own crusts, let me suggest Wholly Wholesome organic pie crusts. They are wonderful and without additives.)
