Magic Beans

Magic Beans

Our first awareness
      falling through time
      through blood-rain, pure white snow, green vegetation 
      down into deep earth
      warm sunshine
      cool wind
      soaking rain

Energy flowing-up through our pod
      each day we grew bigger
      snug together with brothers and sisters
      bursting our little cozy shell
      then one day
      a father and daughter
      plucked us from the vine
      stripped – we lay bare upon a tray
      disorientated and tender but alive  
      a life force deep inside us
      our skin soft but hardening 
      then sleep . . . waiting for the one

Daddy!!  Come see the beans
They changed colors
I see brown ones with white specks
      Yellow with black dots
      Orange with blue stripes 
But wait  . . .  there are three larger beans that seem to glow and vibrate
      one is blood-red
      another . . .  brilliant white
      the last . . .  forest green
What does this mean daddy?
Is it evil?

No my sweet darling
These are special beans
Descended from an ancient garden long ago . . . 
      no longer of this world
It was a place of love and light
No death but a deep communion between mother earth and us
The three beans are:  Peace, Purity, Prosperity 

These beans will feed a starving world 
      Bring healing to the hurting
      Laughter to the downtrodden   
      Hope to the desolate 
      Love to the unloved   
      Life to the dead
These beans hold deep magic

How do they work Daddy?
      a worthy woman is chosen
      who is humble of heart
      strong in spirit
      wise in love 

Who is this lady?
      the magic beans choose
      they only appear to the one female
      you, my darling . . .  you are the one

Me?  I am only a girl
I have none of these things . . . 
      the beans see deep within a soul
      they never lie
      they have chosen you 
      together you will change the world!

Daddy, I am scared . . .
I am shaking 
I am not worthy
      breathe deeply, close your eyes 
      put the beans in your mouth

Daddy, I taste sweetness
Molasses, ginger, caramel . . . now chocolate 
I see visions upon the wind
Blood, wars, rage, yelling . . . unbearable things
      yes, darling the evil is strong here
      let the blood from the red bean flow
      let it mingle with your love
      it will defeat this evil and bring
      healing and forgiveness . . . peace

The white bean is singing with my voice – Daddy!
Sweet is her song
I see merriment, laugher, dancing . . . 
People hugging and holding hands
My tears are falling
Filling rivers with waters of light, love and purity
Joy reverberates from mountains peaks

From my open lips runs rich green sap
Deep does the earth drink
Big drafts of life and love
I see fields flowing with
Cream, honey, and wine
Trees waving to the sun
The earth is rejoicing

I see beans being planted 
In a garden
A man and a little girl
      yes, my Little One, soar now
      fill the world with your love
      fill the wind with your song
      love generously 

Such is the magic of these colored beans

7 Chocolate Flavors You Need To Taste

7 Chocolate Flavors You Need To Taste Before You Leave

Chocolate is delicious and as I always say, the weirder the better. Okay, I don’t actually say that, but it’s totally true in this instance.

 
Homemade Fudge is modestly delicious. I enjoy a chocolate who is straight forward with me.

2.Turtle

The flavors of chewy homemade caramel, crisp pecans and heavenly milk chocolate all combined into one piece of candy is just a bite of heaven right here on earth. This is definitely a puzzle for the palate. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

3.  Truffles

Classic and timeless, this chocolate is no Plain Jane. Just like the “little black dress,” its understated style is one of life’s little luxuries that we encourage you to enjoy with abandon. Simple, chic and never out of fashion, this truffle proves that less truly is more.

4. Dipped Chocolates

 
For a little after dinner treat you could have strawberries, or you could have strawberries dipped in chocolate. You could enjoy a macaron, or you could have a macaron dipped in chocolate. Yes, you could have a Nutter Butter, or you could have a Nutter Butter dipped in chocolate. If you’re the type who eats first with your eyes, you’ll love this .
 

 5. Chocolates

Dark chocolate with goat cheese, Pear Williams and crushed black pepper buttercream. This is the fanciest chocolate of all chocolates. It deserves a little bow tie, or maybe a monocle.
Milk or dark chocolate butter almond toffee. This is the fanciest chocolate of all chocolates. It deserves a little bow tie, or maybe a monocle.

 6. Caramel Apples

Salted caramel sauce – simple, delicious. Not as salty as I expected, but in a good way. Perfect for just about anything.

7. Jelly Belly

Jelly Belly jelly beans are familiar to just about everybody in America (and most likely the majority of people on earth). These tiny jelly beans, in their dozens of flavors, have single-handedly turned what was an unexciting gummy candy into a “gourmet” product, and they’ve earned the loyal devotion of millions. Collected official flavors and stirred them up for the ultimate Jelly Belly assortment. Only one flavor is left out: Chili Mango. It’s just a little too hot to be eaten randomly.
