Veggie pancakes

- First I made mashed potatoes vegan of course, just potatoes and a little coconut oil ( vegan milk if desired ) then I added fried kale , onion , and a diced orange bell pepper . Allowed it to cool then made patties and set it in a heated frying pan ( with a small amount of coconut oil in it ) To cook until browned . ( a flip is required )

-These are delicious with frank's original red hot hot sauce , some diaya cheese melted ( a delicious vegan cheese when melted ) , I guess if you are one who eats ketchup on potatoes you might like that .

Serenity

You know that feeling at a beach , where you are engulfed with the sensations of peacefulness and enjoyment of your surroundings? When like magic your worries and cares are lifted from you and you melt into the comfort of the moments ? There's a reminder of what's easy , natural, effortless, and enough as it is ! It doesn't have to be at the beach of course it can occur anywhere in nature as well as inside us , in our visualizing , in a bath , with a cup of de-caffienated tea , by a fire , etc.
 Well, this is my experience of serenity put into words as best as I can as of now and it is a state that I think is not only pleasant but, one that is common in a world outside of the large artificial matrix human lifestyles can largely involve , one that is natural for us to feel regularly and often.
 The artificial constructs and excesses of cultures limit some of our experiences of it to an extreme level and this is a contributor to the health imbalances , discomfort, delusion , disharmony , and dis-eases in our populations and the world .
