There is something beautiful and scary stirring within me that I've been ignoring. Well, I suppose I haven't been ignoring it--instead I've been feeding the other parts of my being, leaving my whole self just satiated enough so that this which lies just beneath the contentedness does not rebel and burst forth. But it's a powerful force, a force that has gained nourishment even when I neglect to actively feed it.
There are parts of me that easily die-off if I do not feed them. Vitriol, annoyance, judgment: these things all easy fade if I elect to not seep myself in them. And I have been building a powerful force of professional organizing and development in my life--I do like these parts of myself. However, there is a gorgeous wild chaos that lives at the tip of my tongue and is balancing on the diving board of my heart. There is a storm that brews just behind my lungs and is waiting to leap out.
I love this life I live, and this path is wonderful. I have no need to backtrack to or decommission any roads I've been on. What I need to do next is really make sure that there are not roads that pieces of my soul inhabit that have fallen out of focus on my map. I need to make sure the path I continue along is wide enough to include all the parts of me I want to integrate.

My vibrate-cakes?
Here's one version:
Use [silicon] muffin pans or other pie or mini pie-shaped cookware.
Use a food processor to make these layers:
Crust: Any combination of seeds and nuts [sunflower seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, walnuts, almonds, brazil nuts, hazelnuts, etc.], cacao nib powder, coconut oil &/or coconut butter, dried apricot.
Creamy layer: Cashews, lemon juice, huckleberries, coconut butter, vanilla. Alternative delicious recipe is to skip the the berry thing and use oranges or blood oranges.
Top crust: chopped nuts &/or dried berries (or tiny orange slice).
Put in freezer to set 'em, then pop 'em out, let 'em thaw a bit then EAT EAT EAT!
Take to work for good vibes.

Happiness
I met a unique cat on the street the other week. He and my friends and I were all giggles and theatrics for a short set then we all parted ways that sunny day. I was left feeling elevated, remembering how powerful we all are to positively impact each others' existences, regardless of how fleeting our connections may seem. A good thing to remember for sure.
Anyways, one of the things he was rapping about (and I use that word in the 70s context here) was his music projects, so when I was clicking around the other day, I found this video of this happy guy (Tilson) all bouncing around to the beats. A sweet collaboration that makes me wanna make music, which in my humble opinion, is what good art does (inspires one to create too).
