Seasoning


Season (v.): "improve the flavor of by adding spices,"

c. 1300 --etymology.com


Jumble of spices on shelf, seeking arrangement. For outpouring 

into palm. Into moment. Sprinkle of joy, tasting of Heaven's 

myrrh. Moment's birth. As strife meets spice of life meets 

kitchen's mess meets (how is it? even so,) this day

to live as Heaven's guest.
