Baking meditation

Meditation can be found in simple daily endeavors. Be present in each task, from gathering the ingredients and baking utensils, to measuring the flour. 

Baking requires creativity and structure. The two may seem at odds, but they work in harmony to replicate a scone from a recipe.

One can even become present in the tasks conducted while the scones bake: cleaning the kitchen and your baking tools. 

Baking teaches patience, appreciation of skill, and the love of making things. 

Enjoy my pictures. I hope they share my pleasure of baking.
