Kudzu Today

I am wonderfully hungry! (I can eat one more bite!) and enjoy my food. No one enjoys food when they are not hungry. 

People throwing up cannot enjoy food.

People who cannot breathe cannot enjoy food.

People who cannot poop cannot enjoy food.

People who have diarrhea cannot enjoy food.

People who have guilt because they are eating terrible things cannot enjoy food. 

People who are starving cannot enjoy food.

People who make themselves throw up cannot enjoy food.

People who are addicted to exercise and do not eat enough cannot enjoy food. 

People who substitute drugs for food cannot enjoy food.

People who are angry cannot enjoy food. 

People who are grieving cannot enjoy food.

People who are happy enjoy food.

People who are able to eat enjoy food.

People who stop and smell the roses are able to enjoy food.

People with hope and happiness are able to enjoy food.

People with dreams and what they want to do with their lives are able to eat and enjoy food.

People who can poop, breathe, speak, move, think are able to eat and enjoy food. 

People who realize the joy of living are wonderfully hungry. 

My 5th grade Sunday School Teacher used to pray, "Thank you God for the Joy of Living,"

"King James Bible
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."

My teacher was married to a doctor. In the movie "Joy in the Morning" Yvette Mimieux is married to a med student and has to deal with wrath. She starred with Richard Chamberlain who plays a med student. Sexism is integral to the plot.  

Being able to say "Wonderfully Hungry" is a handicap? Really? That dash is not about being a humanitarian with hangry-ness. That dash is being able to eat and all that means. It is silly to be humanitarian and be hangry instead of wonderfully hungry humanitarian--AM I WRONG? 

Politics and humanitarian trouble. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWE23yI0zRU Jan Egeland, TedxStavanger, The UN Aide Chief.

Kudzu

Finding kudzu on the side of the road means finding a parking place and walking to the place of kudzu. It means risking poisons from the county. There are no kudzu farmers in Georgia. Kudzu is not that easy to grow. I tried and it didn't live. I have neighbors who spray round up on their kudzu next to their house. I understand they might not know about black plastic. I will write them a note and mail it.

Who has kudzu I can pick? The gas station did poison their kudzu finally so it is out.
