DREAM LIGHT
Dream light, shine for me 
Dream light, do not distort 
Dream light, are you real? 
Must I follow? 
Guide me to the far, far, land.

[esto es genial] esto es bueno]Please join us in sharing your culture and maybe help a worthy cause.
SOME TIME AGO WHILE PREPARING A FAVORITE MEAL OF MY GRANDMOTHER'S, I TRIED TO IMAGINE ALL OF THE PEOPLE TODAY WHO HAVE SIMILAR FAMILY TRADITIONS AND LEGACIES. I THEN BEGAN TO THINK ABOUT THE OCCASIONS WHEN A FAVORITE FAMILY MEAL MIGHT BE ENJOYED, PERHAPS DURING A HOLIDAY CELEBRATION.

IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT IN THE AMAZING WORLD WE LIVE IN, THERE ARE PROBABLY HUNDREDS OF HOLIDAYS IN OTHER CULTURES THAT I HAVE NEVER HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF CELEBRATING. AS SOMEONE WHO LOVES CELEBRATING, IF FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN SHARING FELLOWSHIP AND GOOD TIMES, I FELT A LITTLE SAD ABOUT MISSING OUT.

IN AN EFFORT TO LEARN ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE AND THEIR CULTURES, THEIR CELEBRATIONS AND THEIR FOODS, I AM COMPILING A COLLECTION OF FAMILY RECIPES FROM AROUND THE WORLD. A COOKBOOK THAT ITSELF CELEBRATES THOSE WHO CELEBRATE LIFE.

COLLECTIVE BREAKING OF BREAD ... AS WE SIT DOWN AT OUR TABLES WITH OUR FAMILIES AND ENJOY A FAMILY DISH FROM ANOTHER CULTURE, WE COULD BRING THEM, IN SPIRITUAL TERMS, HOME TO DINNER WITH US. THE WORLD TEEMS WITH THE ENERGIES OF ALL OF US, ALL OF OUR DIFFERING CULTURES. CELEBRATE THE WONDER OF OUR DIVERSITY BY JOINING IN AND LEARNING ABOUT OTHERS SPECIAL DAYS AND HONORED MEALS. FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, EAT AND THERFORE LIVE AS OTHER BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF THIS WORLD DO. BY HONORING THEM, YOU HONOR YOURSELF AND THE PLANET.

OUR INGREDIENTS FOR PEACE ... , I AM HOPING TO GENERATE SOME ENERGY WITH THIS GROUP AND MAYBE SOME PEOPLE WOULD CARE TO SUBMIT A BIT OF THEIR CULTURE OR FOOD RECIPES FROM THE WORLD COMMUNITY. THIS WOULD BECOME A COLLECTION OF FAMILY FAVORITE RECIPES, SOMETHING FROM YOUR FAMILY THAT YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO SHARE WITH US ... AND THE WORLD. WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE RECIPES THAT MIGHT BE MADE DURING A HOLIDAY. IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL IF THESE RECIPES ARE FOR TRADITIONAL CULTURAL FOODS THAT PERHAPS YOUR GRANDMOTHER MADE AND HER MOTHER BEFORE HER. AS AN EXTRA, IF THERE IS A PHOTO OR BIT OF ARTWORK THAT MIGHT BE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CULTURE OR HOLIDAY, IT WOULD BE MOST WELCOME.

THIS IS FOR BENEVOLENCE AND PROMOTION OF WORLD PEACE. ALL PROFITS FROM THE EVENTUAL SALE OF THE COOKBOOK "BREAKING BREAD FOR PEACE" WILL BE DONATED TO 1, 2, 3 ... HI BABY!
