Dear Readers, Taste Testers, Dining Critics, Foodies,  Food Officianatos, Restaurant Reviewers, Sweet Geniuses, Eye Candy Creators, Taste Sensationalists, Diners of the Senses, mixed with  Seekers and Self Discoverers, Journeypeople of the mind, and Transformers of the internal, I share the following...
    Transformation is hard work. While love can carry you and comfort you emotionally along the way, the body is weak and needs rest and recovery. You may notice a baking sheet with tastey treats in my graphic today, these are one of my favorite, spinach rolls! The recipe is often found on the back of frozen pastry boxes, but certainly you can add your own style and flavor twist to this delicious snack or in my case, comfort food.
    I would like to suggest the extreme value to comfort foods and their abilty to bring your body rest and recovery while you transforming or nearing the end of transformation. I enjoy making and baking spinach rolls as much as eating them simply for the aroma that fills the kitchen and house, which is also on the list for rest and recovery as much as the booming industry of aroma therapy is to the mass relaxationalists. With Love in your ears supporting your transformation, remember to nurish and eat for your body and physical nutrition. 
    I am curious what you enjoy as your comfort foods? In the spirit of contemplation, please share the food that helps your body relax and recover? It is Spring Break for many in the month of March and the local pubs and restaurtant establishments are also taking advantage of the Saint Patrick's Day food celebrations which are sure to be in the realm of rest and recovery, or at least recovery the following day of St. Patrick's Day!
    Let me know what food or snack inspires you to rest and recover?
What family recipe do you dig out of some book or box of 3 by 5 cards?
Who do you share your special recipes and food delights with?
Do you break out a pot luck inspired event among friends?
I'd enjoy hearind your thoughts and stories about Food, Friends, Rest and Recovery, write it, share it, discuss it, and contemplate it!
I hope you are all doing well in your transformation days, keep contemplating those new discoveries about and within yourself, with a little rest and recovery along the way.
Thank you for reading another blogtemplation, Your Contemplative Friend....

Dear Emotionally Attuned, Forgive and Forgetters, Absolvers, Strugglers, Changers, Spiritualists, Rationalists, Justifiers, the attoned, the Seekers of Reconstitution, Reconstructionalists, Artists of Tug of War, Oppositionalists, Peace Makers, Allowers, Gentle Menders or Society, Accountants of Accountability, Holders of Respnsibility, and Readers,
I write to you now about further depth of Transformation. I believe that part of the transformation process is seeking to heal. In seeking to heal it means to make amends to those you harmed, and according to some quotes "Forgiveness is not for other people, it is for yourself so that you can get well and move on." - Anonymous until told otherwise...
You may notice that today's graphic is complicated and full of mixed messages.
You are CORRECT!!! 
I believe that there is a Tug of War between those that seek to be forgiven, and those that forgive. Sometimes accountability and responsibility are brought to you directly and other times it pulls on you from the inside and the effort begins to seek that forgiveness for personal accountability and responsibility. I am sure that the outcomes in life are much better when you act on your own behalf for personal accountability than to be "brought to justice" so to speak. I think that there is a tug of war relationship between those in sorrow seeking forgiveness and the people we shall call the Forgivers, the ones who have been wronged and have wounds either noticeable or not, they carry some range of pain which those in sorrow are seeking to correct or make right or heal the damage they are now owning a part in. It is all very complicated stuff and emotional for sure. So complicated that the line of consequences can be blurry and the full impact of those consequences cannot always be seen or imagined or understood till after some confession or moment of asking for Forgiveness begins.
I am quite satisfied though that the world and society have a wealth of information and belief that there is power in the transformation of seeking forgiveness and the act of forgiving. While the images are many, and the connections to inner peace take many shapes, sizes, and paths, the power of Forgiveness is understood across many people, cultures, and the existance of experiencing the human condition of being.
Love also seems to be at the heart of this concept of Forgiveness.
I would enjoy your thoughts on the perspectives on either side, being the Forgiver, or the Seeker of Forgiveness.
Do you ever feel like you are tugging for some ground to stand on as you seek Forgiveness?
Do you ever feel like you are being tugged against when someone comes to ask for your Forgiveness?
Do you have some vision or imagery to describe the sorrow you feel when you seek forgiveness?
What mindset do you think is best for either the forgiver or the seeker of forgiveness?
I am curious what the contemplation brings up for everyone reading this blogtemplation today? I hope this concept and this extension of transformation has rallied your spirit to review aspects or part of your life to renew and change with some transformative story which you can share or comment about. I hope you write wonderful journals today as you contemplate what this blogtemplation has posed to you today? Please share your views, your comments, your insights about Sorrow and Forgiveness, Guilt and Absolution, Condemnation and Pardon, Accusation and Exoneration, Apology and Acceptance, Offense and Tolerance, and many other versions of the sides which we find ourselves experiencing throughout life in simple terms as well as more adult and grown up complicated ways in our lives. Share your thoughts, opinions, and views on all of it in this Establilshment of Contemplation.  I hope you have enjoyed this journey of concept continuance from Transformation. I cannot tell you what concept or thought I will bring next, but please continue on this journey with me. Share your written word, express your analysis and wisdom, make your sharing public and encourage communication in your communities. Thank you for reading today.
