Rebuilding

Hello Everyone,
I was walking around lower Manhattan and took some pictures of the new 9/11 site. I am hoping this rebuilding will bring value creating opportunities for our society. I like to see the "Money Making " part of our city, shift towards uplifting humanity.

I found this quote inspiring . It is from an unknown author.

Life contains the capacity,
like flames that reach toward heaven, to
transform suffering and pain into the energy
needed for value-creation, into light that
illuminates darkness. Like the wind traversing
vast spaces unhindered, life has the power to
uproot and overturn all obstacles and
difficulties. Like clear flowing water, it can
wash away all stains and impurities. And
finally, life like the great earth that sustains
vegetation, impartially protects all people with
its compassionate, nurturing force.

Food energy is needed to do my long walks. 1 to 3 miles daily is my goal. For this lower Manhattan walk, I prepared some cookies from fruit and nut combinations I like to eat. My creation of fig and walnut cookies came out chewy. But next time I will dehydrate them longer for the texture to be firmer.
Here is a fun cookie recipe to prepare from the Alissa Cohen "Raw Food for Everyone"

OATMEAL COOKIES

1 3/4 cups oat flakes
1 banana
1/2 cup agave nectar
seeds from 1 vanilla bean
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 cup pecans
1 cup raisins
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1. Combine 1 cup of the oats, the banana, agave, vanilla seeds, and Cinnamon in a food processor. Blend until the ingredients are smooth.
2. Add the pecans and the remaining 1/4 cup oats and pulse-chop until the pecans and remaining oats are coarsely chopped. Add the raisins and pulse-chop again until everything is combined to make a batter.
3. Drop 1/2 cup measures of the batter onto Teflex-lined dehydrator racks. Moisten the palm of your hand with water and press slightly. They should not be perfect circles, and pieces of raisins and nuts will stick out.
4. Dehydrate the cookies 6 hours, remove the racks and turn them over, and peel off the Teflex. Dehydrate for an additional 6 hours. The cookies should be moist but still hold their shape. Store at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Enjoy !




I like being around flowers. They offer great healing energy that brightens up any room. The color combinations of Orange and White flowers are very nice for the fall.
The Orange color of a flower is known to bring about joy, enthusiasm, determination and ambition. Orange increases the oxygen levels to the brain.
The White color of a flower is known for purity, formality, elegance and neutrality. It brings peace.
Colors have a strong psychological and physiological effects on people. Sending a person flowers can stimulate healing. Ever notice how a sick person will smile when flowers are given to them.
