Every day I walk by our little corporate galley kitchen, and oftentimes my co-workers have left some communal offering. On Fridays there might be donuts or bagels. The middle of the week might bring homemade cookies. After any holiday there is sure to be leftover candy. There is never a sign, but everyone knows that anything left on the red counter is an offering to all.
An altar to we mortal gods.
Today I walked by and it was a handful of fresh strawberries. Not on a plate or a napkin. Just scattered on the counter, like a lazy gift, and I laughed.
Life is a red countertop. We are all gods, with altars full of offerings, if only we would see.
Why are all the gods so angry today? Let me know if any beer or vodka shows up on the red countertop, please.
ReplyDeleteI think that's a solid suggestion, and I think the red countertop is going to see booze on Friday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I've got to get a red counter-top. Mine is brown.
ReplyDeleteWe have a community chocolate run. Today was my turn and it was good.
ReplyDeleteewww. Hope the red countertop saw windex first.
ReplyDeleteYes, Windex. Please! I've recently fallen in love with Lysol Wipes (because I have two boys who have bad aim) but I have to hide them from the man because he wants everything to be "green". Green is never as good as Windex or Lysol Wipes. Never!
ReplyDelete*sigh* (OM:)
ReplyDeletethere are days I pray for offerings (usually because I'm running late)
ReplyDeleteyesterday it was handpicked blackberries
What a great idea! We don't have a designated spot but since I work for a catering company there are always "mistakes" that the kitchen puts out for all takers! It's no wonder my butt is so big...heh!
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteOnce I deliberately left three pennies in the ladies restroom just to see... they were gone within the hour, and in my head I was amused by the thought of someone finding pennies and pocketing them. I didnt want the dirty things.
I know. For shame ;)
What about the crumbs ? .. all we get is crumbs.
ReplyDeleteIf, such a big if-sometimes.
ReplyDeleteIs this the same as
not seeing the forest for the trees?
Sincerely,
Richard
I don't understand forest and tree analogies. I live in the city.
ReplyDeleteRed countertops and cookies, that I get.
;-)
I know you live in the city, perhaps the time is right to get back to nature, graveyards do not count, go camping.
ReplyDeleteFun, fun and more fun.;)
Sincerely,
Richard
Definitely imagine that which you stated. Your favourite reason appeared to be at the net the simplest
ReplyDeletething to take note of. I say to you, I certainly get irked even as people think about concerns that they just don't
realize about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest and also outlined out the entire thing with no need
side effect , other people could take a signal. Will probably be again to get more.
Thank you
