I’ve been having reflective moments throughout the day—thinking deep thoughts, contemplating the absurdity of many of life’s aspects, yet surrendering to the beauty that surrounds us and marveling at the essence which gives things meaning: the upcoming season with its fresh and new beginnings; the simple beauty of a flowing river, streaming aimlessly; and the sun rising every day though it may not be its turn to shine.
What does this have to do with today’s cookies? I’m not sure. I just felt like writing about moments when my soul was seeking essence and meaning in its random contemplations. I could almost say that these cookies are a product of such moments—longing for simple beauty: a chocolate chip cookie, a glass of milk, a familiar face.
