The End of an Era
Well, the use of Kraft Marshmellow Creme jars as drinking glasses in my kitchen will soon come to an end. As one can imagine, they are glass and break eventually. Generally, the same break near the bottom of the jar, a sign that it is an old jar and time to purchase some more. I have six jars left on the shelf. I went to purchase some more the other day and found my beloved glass jars had been replaced with plastic. I have looked all over the city to see if I might find the last remaining glass jars on the shelf, but no. I cannot express the depths of my disappointment.

The five colors blind the eye.
ReplyDeleteThe five tones deafen the ear.
The five flavors dull the taste.
Racing and hunting madden the mind.
Precious things lead one astray.
Therefore the sage is guided by what he feels and not by what he sees.
He lets go of that and chooses this.
-Tao Te Ching
Thanks, Michael. Wise words, indeed. I already picked up some cool new glasses at Savers for a buck a piece, and I have the added health benefit of not having to eat the marshmellow cream. Life is good.
