I wasn't sure if I was going to serve fresh from the vine tomato slices on top out of the oven slices of baguette or endives stuffed with pesto and goat cheese. I knew it didn't matter because anything I served was going to be infused with the elixir of my love.

Vickie Perkins-Tucker How wonderful! Wish I was there to see your love flow through your guest and family. This is what good food is all about!

We collected funky plates from Goodwill and vintage chairs from garage sales. We grew the entire meal in the back yard. Our friends gather from every corner of town. We'll feast in simplicity, we'll commune in down home love.

He comes over with that shy smile carrying a bag of fresh cherry tomatoes, a basket of lemons, a bar of chocolate and flowers in old ambers glasses. I bite my tongue not to scream how much I love him, I want to play the slow game with him and eat the slow food while we wait.

It's time to throw one down farm style. We eat what everyone brings, stuff ourself to happy craziness, drink bottles of golden wine, run around green grass and fall down to watch the stars pop out one by one.

Every time my sisters, the ones connected by spirit and not blood, come to gather around me I feel complete. We sit against mountain rises, eat chocolate cake, hold hands, cry while we laugh and laugh while we cry. They fill my empty vessel every.single.time.

I'm planning a gathering for one out in the field. Sweetgrass and rose saki, spicy ginger maple candies and an empty journal.

She was my first organic gardener. She fed me eggplant breaded ever so lightly and fresh green salads tossed with bite size jewels of tomatoes and sweet snappy peas. She was a queen, my grandmother. Food was her passion, the Earth was her mother. She showed me the way. And I will always eat well.

There was this beautiful field when I was a child that I'd go to and gather foxgloves and wild peas. It was bright with light and I'd spend hours there, in awe of the wonder of blades of grass and inhaling the scent of the botanicals. It's the place where I formed my dreams, the place I go back to in my heart every day.

My mother always had enough for everyone and then some. Enough food, enough plates, enough chairs and enough bedding. It was a home where the doors were open and all were welcome. If your heart was bright and open and your eyes true, you were considered family and you were loved.

So what do you want to know? I'm always re-born in the Spring, I carry fire in my heart and my favorite ice cream is lemon. I want pure love with no strings and to be completely free to just Be.

I'm going to go find some water and wade in it, watch the hems of my dress float behind me like a spirit and whistle with the birds. I'm going to dry off on the banks and wait for the signs to come to tell me where to go next.

Soak in the streams of energy from all directions. You know it's all there, it's everywhere and if we can just unlock our doors we can feel it flood in like magic.
