Recognizing The Beauty That Lies Within Us All



cnwriterStarred Page
Everyone has within them the keys of creativity. Some deny it and thus shut the door on it happening, others know it and ride through life on the proverbial unicorn of light. which way do you go!!!!!

When Nothing New Is....

When nothing new is happening to you
What do you do....
Some go into pits of despair 
Rack up their karmic flows
For powerful creators we all be
Our thoughts and feelings make their mark
Upon the formless energy that lies within
Some call it Spirit


No matter what you do or say you cannot make it go away

In this a goodly lesson lies for all of us 
Positive and loving thoughts to have
Keep our feelings in a neutral light


Forgiveness is another key

Some Unbelievers Yes There Are

There are some who do not believe that this can be
For yet have they to come
To this point in their evolution

They still are on the outward flow not ready yet to turn around
And get back on the homeward flow


This is not good nor bad it just is what it is

No Need to Plagiarize

I find it hard to believe that others plagiarize 
When everyone inside has such creativity to use
in so many marvellous ways
 but not abuse
Take time to sit in quiet mode and listen to the voice within
Prompt you it will in diverse ways
How to form a proper phrase
With music running through and I dont mean outer music


It is the Sound that flows through all of us

Mirrors of the Soul

If you cannot believe then play serendipity
And see yourself as the beautiful being that you truly are
LIght shining through you into the world for all to see
If they see it not then darkness is their choice
But keep shining on and soon you will find
That joy runs through like a constant stream

Your eyes shine bright
Your soul is seen 


for eyes are the mirrors of the soul

Restaurateurs...their cuisine and professionalism



cnwriter
Eating out can be a joy and also a disaster! I have been writing reviews about restaurants around the world for over 25 years and have met the good, the bad and the very ugly. Sometimes great chefs give up the quality of their cuisine because of the demands of their unknowledgeable diners but others stick to their integrity.

My study of Nutrition and Food cultures

I have been a restaurant writer for over 30 years and have met many people who call themselves restaurateurs, chefs de cuisine etc etc. Today I find it rather interesting sitting on opposite sides of the table...me writing about you you serving me up all kinds of foods. Now to all intents and purposes you may be thinking well who she to have opinions and sometimes judgements about the food we serve. And in some ways I agree with that but my opinions are based on knowledge as I have studied food for the past 30 years. My judgements are based on those who call themselves restaurateurs but do not live up to that.

Now there are those who are very knowledgeable professional people who have studied the intricate forms of cuisine, management, service and professionalism and those I acknowledge wholeheartedly.

I, too, have for many years studied nutrition and health and having grown up in the UK and Europe learned about quality versus quantity, food combining and presentation. As a professional International Food, Wine and Travel Writer, I have visited many countries, studied their food culture, crops and all the things that lead up to putting a plate in front of a customer.

Wholesale Food Markets around the world

It was a fascinating experience to visit the wholesale food markets in places like Casablanca, Tangiers, Southwark and Provence and marvel at the incredible displays of fresh fruits and vegetables. My husband was an agronomist and I visited with him farmlands in Egypt, markets in Tunis and small cities throughout the middle East. All these gave me a deeper perception about quality and freshness.

Oldways Symposium..Bovine Growth Hormones, GMO's....

I was invited to an Oldways Symposium some years back on the Mediterranean Diet. It was held in San Francisco and I stood up to ask the debating board why 99.9% of the food stuffs here in the USA were grown on supermarket shelves instead of being left to ripen in the fields naturally. Why so much of the food is processed and dead before it even reaches the mouths of people. Of course no one could answer except for the answer we all know....GREED and MONEY.

Now the Bovine Growth Hormone and genetically modified foodstuffs produced by Monsanto flood the markets and are invasive in our markets. These chemically produced foods are causing many types of behavioral aberrations.

You may ask what this has to do with me. I guess nothing unless you care as I do what people put in their mouths. Buying fresh organically grown foods and non-hormone treated meats, poultry and dairy products is important to the health of every person.

As a Restaurant Reviewer

All these things influence me when I do a review. The ambiance of the restaurant, the service which today can be fabulous in some and abysmal in others. Food, of course, is of the utmost importance and I observe not only what is put in front of me but in front of other diners too. The freshness of the salads, the way the vegetables are cooked, the colour and smell of fish, meat and poultry. I have had occasion to send food back to the kitchen because the smell indicates it is not fresh. Also the overuse of sugar in desserts and the watery brown tasteless brew called in coffee which happens so often.

Chefs on the 'Ball'..at the mercy of unknowledgeable diners

There are quite a number of chefs who are really passionate about food, its preparation and presentation..where they buy their produce and I take my hat off to these. I also understand how so many of them are at the mercy of your customers. They demand more and more mixtures ontheir plates thinking that quantity proves the price is worthy. Where entertainment and ego centric people gather in happening places in most major cities their huge demands indicate their total ignorance about cuisine.

To stay in business, chefs and restaurant owners have to cater to these folk and so out of the window goes quality. This is not always the case obviously but since I am a writer and not getting paid to do this I have a little freedom to say what I have found since I started writing about cuisine and those personalities.

I do have many friends in the restaurant business who value my integrity and oft ask me to try their new menus and give them feedback. Of course there are those who do not care for me and that is fine. I will still find wonderful places to eat and write about.

Wars and the Devastation they produce


cnwriterStarred Page
War has always the cause of devastation through the ages of man. Every age has played a part in the useless killing of and savagery against mankind.

Devastation of War

To war to war warmongers cried beating drums in disarraymarching orders came and went none of it was heaven sent
The doings of those mad for power

The paths along the soldiers marched were muddied up by booted feethorses neighed and pawed the ground
A bloody sight for all to see 

Rape and pillage fire and scorn for human life went on and on
Across the land now dark and torn bloody streams where once did flow clean fresh water
Forests where trees are broken stumps green shining countryside now bare and burned smouldering fires shudder

The Gods look Down

The war hath endeth now they say
The fight is over all can see
Won by heroes who stood their ground
Whilst all around them others fell

And then a mighty cry went up to Heaven
Beseeching all the Gods to look at the destruction far below

Zeus mightiest of them all whose name brought awe
Nepture God of water and the sea his trident sharp
And Hera Goddess of Women, Queen of the Gods her beauty quite sublime
Diana Goddess of the Moon her brother Apollo God of the Sun
In this divinity profound they stood watching the antics of mere man
So laughable and petty it was to Them


Supreme were they these Gods Beings divine and bright
That on them no man could look without becoming blind

Gods supreme

And yet reflected in their shields
Was all the soldiers saw
Their shields of molten iron
Their swords of golden ore
Each made for them

By smithies bold
Who knew their job damn well

Xerxes and the Immortals

In bygone days when this took place
They had been chosen by the King
He knew the strife was yet to come
And be prepared he would

He sat upon an iron throne his glittering armour strong
Around him they did stand the Immortals men of Persia all were they
Trained so highly men of men
Ensuring who came near the king would die instead
Xerxes this rule did make

Around him there stood many men
And many women too
All vying for a place
At court

It mattered not who they were
Their colour or their race

So they rode out
Planning ways to discover
Resolutions good and proper
To help mankind his journey home
With good intention
Doing, Being and Saying


It mattereth not

From whence they came
And where they go
It matters not to me


I have no time
For what they do
Or what they say
A bucket full of shit
It is


Through all these platitudes
And words pages galore
I am just being me


Sometimes I am angry
Sometimes am sad
Always loving
No matter what

They all add up to me

Ahknaten Pharaoh of Egypt and Nefertiti his beautiful consort


cnwriter

Starred Page
Akhenaten was the first Egyptian Pharaoh to recognize the One God and built a city he did. His beautiful wife Nefertiti was a great lady of that time...this is just a little about them and the glorious country of Egypt. Miles Davis plays his doleful dirge to Nefertiti.....enjoyt

In cool cavernous palaces she stood in utmost power
Together with Akhnaten Pharaoh of that great and wondrous country on the Nile
Overturned had they the old sanctimonious ways of many gods
And now the One alone would rule


This scene is set when Nefertiti was the Queen 
So beautiful to all she seemed
And was

Her shining features reflected the sun
Whose beams upon her did fall
Illuminating all


Akhnaten a wayshower was he who knew the trueness of what could be
When only One would worship they

The Sun God the mighty One from whence all loving did come
To be returned in so many ways In joy and enthusiasm

Down the Nile

Down the Nile the barque did sail eddies of soft water reached the banks
The workers of the land came they in wonder to stare
At the Queen of Egypt floating by

She held her head high and all around her neck were placed
Bands of turquoise coral and the sacred Ank

Her toes gleamed with silver paint as did her fingers too
Her beauty mesmerizing all


The golden barque sailed between banks of papyrus brown

Set against the pastures green where grew the bounty of the land

Soft sweeps of desert sand touched not upon the shores
Held back by inundations every year the bounty Mother Nile
Did give to those who were her own

Priests of Amun Ra

The priests of Amun Ra hid their rage behind their black kohl eyes
They knew their power taken away and of the many gods at whose feet they worshipped
They knew one day revenge would come and bided they their time
Intrigue their game and this they did in Heliopolis
Away from the blinding gaze of Aten who saw all
And knew the deepest secrets of men
Blazoned in full duplicity upon their faces


Just like it is today

The Great Sun Disc

strange and mystical Pharaoh was he this man once known as Amenhotep the 1V of that dynasty
His mother a teacher of new ideas installed them did she in her son's mind
Till one day inside of him did see the mighty Disc of the Sun and then he knew
The Oneness of all that could ever be

And would be true
He knew the wholeness of the Mighty One that included Father Son
The Christed form again did come
The Whole Spirit too


No more the devious ways and corrupted views of priests
 who for their own ends drew
All to them ways of manipulation and greed though some a saving grace had they
In true belief worshipped

but not many of them

The Germination of Seeds

And so this did come about and thus the seeds were sown
Upon which ideas could germinate and grow
Into the deeper knowing within


Not too long afterwards deposed were they the mighty Pharaoh of that day
His family and followers too

It matters not for all is perfect in its procession through time
Each age giving way to the next and all the teachings that emerge 

And ruins to be dug up observed.....
and so it is

Ode to the One Within....Treasures there to find.....


Ode to the One Within....Treasures there to find.....

cnwriterStarred PageBy cnwriter
Silly are you who lay your treasures up on this earthly realm for into nothingness they will go. Corrupt and decay them all. You cannot drive your BMW into the heavenly realms...even if you wish you could!!!!!

Karmic paths

Listen to the One within
Telling you where to begin
And where to end

Life runs its path through thick and thin
We wonder why


Lessons such are there to show
Reflections of our previous pasts
Time now to let all go
But first you need to learn them well
Or you will just return again


Words do not make them go away
Time after time you make the rounds
Action and attitude can help along
You really do need to be strong

Silly are You

Take bull by horns 
And shake his head
Up down up down and all around
Dizzy he then becomes

You too


You find your fingers are all thumbs
Which way to go you cry out loud
But no-one listens in the crowd
Care they not for you

You cannot have so many friends
They lead you here there everywhere
Till dizzy is your silly head
Your brain is working overtime


but nothing much therein is there

Promises from long ago

Bravo bravo I hear them cry
Reach we will into the sky
And find the treasures way up there
The ones that promised were to us
Ages gone by


and still they keep on searching

Foolish are they they do not know
That treasures of an earthly kind
Decay they do

Returning once again to the nothingness
From which they came


Cars, gold, people too
From dust do come and thus return
Mayhap in a different way
But truly it is all the same


The only treasures eternal are
Those that in heaven you do lay
Within
