sacred day eleven

rising dough.
1.11.2011

in what ever form, bread making is a sacred act. when you look at the simple ingredients (or more complex) that you combine in a bowl (or vessel) that create sustenance, it is awe inspiring. each part makes the whole. making this dough for cinnamon rolls, a recipe shared by one of my husband's cousins, was a making of joy. my hands have missed the act of kneading since our daily bread calls for simplicity. this dough brought moments of relaxation and centering through the work of my hands.
