Life is like … cake.
The ingredients don’t seem like much, but when they are put together with love, it transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.
We learn its okay that it sometimes sags in the middle and crumbles at the edges.
The sponge is the foundation which fills and nourishes us.
The filling is the precious sweet center within us all.
The cherries are the fleeting pleasures on top.
… As I was writing this I began to wonder what cake my life is like these days… A zesty lemon bundt cake with space to grow!
Such a delicious perspective… 🙂

A cake (like life) always seems a bit more than the mere sum of its parts!

I don’t want to be a spoiler here but too much cake can lead to an unfit old age plagued with lifestyle diseases (heart disease, diabetes etc) due to excess of some of the ingredients (sugar, fat). Metaphorically speaking, when the sum of the parts looks Ok, we should maybe look a bit closer at the individual components that may gradually see us undone (excess consumerism, busyness, disconnections etc).

Ahh, cake. I recently wrote on my ACIM blog using cake as a metaphor and just like that post, yours has be salivating over yummy, delicious, decadent layered cake. Especially considering I am only allowed gluten free vegan baking (boo hoo, sob, sad tear). https://miraclesblazinglight.wordpress.com/2015/02/03/the-mouth-watering-road-to-happiness/ All the best Val!
