balance above the fire.

it was so busy at sacred chow tonight, and dino felt like doody, so he went home to sleep and it got super busy. i had to put my body into fifth gear, and pushed myself to hop, hop, hop to it.

it is at the times like this that i am awed by our power to do anything. our mind is like a star shooting through the universe, sending our bodies to places unimaginable. still, we are here, grounded on earth, and earth's power is significant in its ability to shift even a cool equilibrium like the one i own. after-all, think of middle earth and the belching fires moving about, ready to tear apart the outer earth with earth quakes, tsunamis, lava flows... i am equally awed by her power, and stand ready to serve her requests.

yet, i got mad at dino for a quick second, and called his sick face to tell him so. he was so sweet to let me unravel. and i hung up no less relieved.

you see, dino is a master with our guests, and nina, who was working the front of the house is new to f.o.h. demands and she was feeling so overwhelmed, and for good reason, folks were waiting in line, and sitting having drinks at our waiting benches waiting for tables, and there were lots of take outs. robert, who is also sort of new, gets a bit off his game when the tickets become too numerous for a single being to handle, other than myself, josef and li fang. well, we 3 are super beings in the kitchen, especially when the earth is a little more understanding.

though tonight she was less so; but even though she is imperfect, i stand ready to serve her.

it seems that it all works together, this balance above the fire.

yes, i see that it does.
