Today on the front counter sits a simnal cake all it's sunny glory. Yellow marzipan with eleven yellow toasted balls symbolising the apostles (a brief moment of hysteria ensued when we thought it was one ball short). Judas was missing hence only eleven, but Jesus is sometimes represented with a ball in the middle. This is all new to me, I have never seen one or tasted one before, so had a little sliver to investigate. Decadently rich moist fruit cake with a river of marzipan running through the middle if you like that sort of thing. A colleague commented that it 'wasn't worth the calories', which is something one must always consider when eating a cake. And although I confess to feeling particularly greedy today, in my humble opinion it actually was! But it's all a matter of taste isn't it?
Seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal. Herman Hesse
