Tommy - what a treat. So neat that you took us inside you and let us roll around with your thoughts. Emotional. Vulnerable. Real.

I loved this: “The recipe lied.” I couldn’t help but think of those times when I’m writing that my muse serves up something so perfect, so delightful, and so unique to the world. That came to mind when I read those three words. I bet no one else has ever written, “the recipe lied”. I hope you smiled when your wrote it.

Then what showed up for me, your reader, is that the recipe always lies, because the recipe is always written by someone else, and all of life is cooking from scratch, from our unique selves and how we meet the world. We all have one recipe and we figure it out as we go.

I never would have seen this perspective in this unique way, if it weren’t for your three words, written halfway around the world from where I live. ❤️.

Thank you. 🙏

If you want to start thinking about God beyond the Jordan Peterson biblical interpretation for him, I urge you to read Alija Izetbegovic's book "Between East and West".. It has transformed my life and how I think about God in general.. I bet it will do the same for you.. It's as much philosophical as it is psychological/social study of many aspects of our lives.. Good luck in your journey!
