A moment to pause
A moment to pause
Before you mash the bananas, take a moment to notice their scent, their ripeness, the soft texture under your hands. Let this small act root you in the present.
As the loaf bakes, step away from the screens. Breathe. Listen for the quiet moments and let the warmth in the kitchen remind you of care and continuity.
Slice intentionally, noticing each cut and each portion. With every piece, imagine it being shared - whether today or tomorrow, near or far.
Before you taste, take a quiet moment to acknowledge the hands that made this loaf, the time it took, and the pleasure it will bring.
