Coffee Musings - 022508
2008-02-25 12:35:00 A few years ago I was interested in the classic Japanese arts including Haiku and Ikebana. I'm still interested, but I haven't written much, and I haven't designed a floral arrangement. I love flowers! I hope I have a rose garden and a bed of herbs. I think it would be great if I had a cute little bungalow with hanging garlic everywhere to add a comforting smell . . . besides cookies constantly baking.Speaking of cookies, I made dough from a chocolate chip cookie recipe, but I decided against baking when I found my kitchen sink was leaking. It just deflated my cooking ambition. Hopefully, it will be fixed today. I looked under the sink today, and the paper towel there was dry, but it was not dry last night. I have very dry heat in my apartment, and it's going to prematurely age me. Also, for the batter I used butter and walnuts that although not rancid, were old. I didn't want to give the cookies away because of those ingredients, but the batter was still pretty good...

IKEBANA is more than simply putting flowers in a container. It is a disciplined art form in which the arrangement is a living thing in which nature and humanity are brought together. It is steeped in the philosophy of developing a closeness with nature. Image: http://www.benicia.com/images/5-78%20Maple%20Burl%20Ikebana.jpg- As is true of all other arts, IKEBANA is creative expression within certain rules of construction. Its materials are living branches, leaves, grasses, and blossoms. Its heart is the beauty resulting from color combinations, natural shapes, graceful lines, and the meaning latent in the total form of the arrangement. IKEBANA is, therefore, much more than mere floral decoration.
