The Recipe

 Using four hands, mix in equal parts of
Caring, Understanding, Openness,
Empathy and Acceptance
(of both similarities and differences)
to create a solid base of 
Friendship,
then seal all the way to the edges
with Trust and Respect.
Bake slowly at low heat.
 
Add a thick layer of Love
poured freely and unconditionally,
carefully hand whisked
until it is able to hold its shape
even when the bowl is turned 
upside down.
 
If the mixture is not firm enough
don’t throw it away,
add more Time and Patience
until the right consistency is reached;
this will only make it better.
 
Top it all off with sprinkles of
Spice, Desire, and Passion,
and savour it.
 
It makes enough to last
a lifetime
