A Story

If the bread could talk, imagine for a moment that the bread can talk, and you can listen to the talk…

The SOFT:  The soft bread inside the tough outer crust of the bread, “you are NOT the same as me, you are bad, it is because of you that I am trapped in here”!

The CRUST:  The crust says, “I am the same as you, trust me, I have gone through more to protect you so that you can be soft, I have more experience in life than you”.

The SOFT:  “You are doing it all wrong!  You should never have done what you did, you should have done it this way”!  The crust listens and remains silent.

The CRUST:  Looking at the other side of the table, where the other breads are being made from the ‘creamy white dough and says to the SOFT center of the bread, “We all began the same, we are the creamy white dough”.

The SOFT:  “You are crazy, we are NOT the same, look, I am soft, you are hard, how is that the same?  Look at the, how can you say we are the same as the creamy dough?  We are nothing alike. The dough is all soft, no form, it does not even talk like you and me, you are a nut, you are not hard, and you are a nut, in fact, I think you are crazy.”!

The CRUST:  Looking at the end side of the table and seeing the dough being moved into the oven, “Look SOFT, this is the process where you become soft, and I become hard. I was protecting you, and that’s why you are able to be soft”.

The SOFT:  “I am tired of looking and talking to you, you are crazy, how can you say we are the same, look, it is still soft, not talking dough, it does not look like you or me, we are NOT the same, you are NOT listening to me, everything says we are DIFFERENT, how can you be so crazy to think that we are the same”?

The CRUST:  Looking at the oven opened after some time, the baked bread came out, the crust tells the soft “LOOK, you see, it is the same as us, can you see”?

The SOFT:  “That’s not me, it looks like you but it is NOT me, I am tired of listening to you, you are just a nut saying crazy things”!!

The SOFT:  They are watching silently, they see when the HARD was being cut open, they can see the SOFT inside.  The SOFT can see what it is saying now, but defending its position of what it said, “Hey CRUST, you know, you think you are so smart, talk to it, if you are so smart, you will talk, and it will tell you that it is not the same as us”!

The CRUST:  “Hey, we are the same, right”?  After it was taken out of the oven.

The NEW CRUST BREAD:  “Yes and No, yes, we are the same, but I am, but I am not the SOFT DOUGH, I am the 4 elements.“.

The CRUST:  “What do you mean you are the 4 elements”?

The NEW CRUST BREAD:  It is new, it can REMEMBER, while the CRUST cannot remember what it was before being the dough says, “I am made of FLOUR, SALT, YEAST and WATER, these 4 elements, see on the floor, I am from the bag of flour and yeast, and salt, I am also from the tap, where I came out of, the ‘water’, I am elements of all these 4 elements that I became the soft dough you see but I had to go through the ‘heat’ element so thave I become who I am now, talking to you”.

The CRUST:  “I can see what you mean. I am trying to tell SOFT that I am the same, but SOFT keeps calling me crazy. We are not the same, can you tell them”?

The NEW CRUST BREAD:  “There is no point, let them learn, when their time is up, they will know, for now, there is nothing you can do to tell them that they are the same as you, they have to come back again and become the dough and they can remember, hopefully not forget, they will know that they, we are the same, made of the same 4 elements plus the element of heat that makes you hard and they soft, for now till the end of their time, you will be different from them”.

The CRUST:  “What do I do if I cannot assist them to know”?

The NEW CRUST BREAD:  “Just LIVE YOUR LIFE, let them live theirs, let them believe what they want to believe, you know better, just LIVE YOUR LIFE” and REMEMBER more of what you know now, before I too forget that I am the 4 elements plus heat element!.

The CRUST:  “Thank you, I will do just that, hope you remember, I will be there to help you remember that you are the 4 elements plus heat element, keep in touch”.

Something to reflect on about LIFE, if you were a BREAD!  Are you a bread or MORE than a BREAD?

Have a great day reflecting on your life essence!
