I am a very lucky husband,
with a wife
who knows
why cooking solves real challenges . . .
She knows
better than priests
and psychologists
that men don't do well
with instructions,
or criticism . . .
She simply
start the mixer,
puts on her cooking apron,
turms on the music,
and dances
her way
through the entire creation
of batches of cookies
brimming with secret
enchantment . . .
And Poof!
All the silly manly worries
magically become
smiles and hugs.
