Chocolate

I love Chocolate. This is no secret, after all I talked about the "hot fudge incident" in my previous post.

Recently a friend told me of a diabetic that works around chocolate. I am not sure I am strong enough to be someone that can be around something they love and yet is forbidden to embrace it. To be denied the subtle tastes as the chocolate melts on the tongue. To only be allowed to savor the sweet aroma and see velvety smoothness while knowing that there are real dangers in forgetting personal restraint.

Yet if I was this person with these challenges, I would pray to be strong enough to go into work and put my heart into the job. To be able to know that maybe I could still make these delicious morsels with love for others. That my love of chocolate even when I can not enjoy it could bring happiness and joy to others. That some young lovers could share the embrace of senses in their lives.

Much to ponder this morning or maybe I just need to watch the "The King and I" and sing along with Anna.
